question about glue and pcb

can crazy glue be applied to a circuit board without messing anything up? i ask cuz im putting additional LEDs in my auto cluster, and was thinking about glueing them on the board as a means of immobilization. like maybe on one of the circuit lines or something, it should be fine right? i want to make sure before i break something.

I would try hot glue, super adhesive, but hot glue forst. Dunno how stable crazy glue would be...

Will be fine but to make sure take a multimeter and testing the glue for continuity just tobe safe. Thou if you plan to mod anything around that glue in the future you'll burn your eye's from the burning of the glue.

Cyanoacrylates (superglue) are not conductive (once dry), though you may have issues with long-term adhesion to PCBs due to the soldermask (the green stuff). Hot glue will be the best way to go in this case...

Crazy Glue requires water on both surfaces in order to precipitate the reaction, so it will not work. I also do not recommend using hot glue as it tends to crack off very easily in colder weather. The Goop glue in the blue bottle works way better.
