Actually, I think they are normally hot glued on.

The original glue is light brown stuff, I wasn't able to melt it with a soldering iron. But I'll try hot glue.

That's what I'd be tempted to use too. Make sure the surfaces are grease free before doing this. Use Isopropyl Alcohol (isopropanol) ideally. Useful stuff. The local pharmacist was out of 500ml bottles last time I wnt there, so I bought a full 2 litres of the stuff !

In the light of further info, certainly. I wouldn't personally mount them like that though.

-- I think most cyanoacrylates have an upper temp limit of about 85C, while epoxies go up to about 100C, so what I\'d do would be to clean up the diodes and bond them to the housing with epoxy. While it\'s curing I\'d make sure the diodes stayed in contact with the housing by holding them down with a little tape. JF
