Has anyone tried Masterbonds conductive epoxy for attaching SMT

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.

In a production line they would probably use UV curing epoxies. They
already do, but not for solder substitute.
