Probably OT but worth telling I think. A few years ago I stuck a piece of single-sided PCB in the bottom of a diecast aluminium enclosure using bog-standard Bostik. About a year later I wanted to dismantle it, but the PCB was reluctant to come out. I resorted to levering it with a large screwdriver and it took all my strength. Eventually the bottom of the box cracked! I developed a new respect for Bostik after that!
