Glue?

I don’t why this would be true either. It can melt the plastic and it tends to be hard to control. It also doesn’t bond that well, but can work adequately in many situations. It can be hard to get a good bond and only get it in the right places. Using an accelerant usually makes the bond better but can also be messier. But neither of these are long-term degradation issues.

Do you happen to have a source for that? It is the first time that I hear that superglue (i.e. cyanoacrylate) can have adverse effects on electronics. I have used it a lot on calculators and other electronic devices and have not yet noticed anything at all.

The Wikipedia article on Cyanoacrylate says (among other things): "Electronics -
Cyanoacrylates are used to assemble prototype electronics (used in wire wrap),..."
