Has anyone tried Masterbonds conductive epoxy for attaching SMT
components to a printed circuit board?

Seems like a great idea, especially if it works well::

Aside from the resistivity of the epoxy, the largest problem I see
is throughput. That is, where are you going to store all those
boards while the epoxy is curing?

Plus, it makes it really messy for the salvagers/recyclers.

I do not know about Masterbonds conductive epoxy(ies), but i have
used silver conductive epoxy.
1) EXPENSIVE, 2) good for short-term and medium-term repair, but no
where as reliable as a solder connection.
