The recommendation to use super-glue to stick down the

that super-gluing of one's fingers can be cured with hot water.

Wouldn't the heat of soldering cause the super-glue to fail?

(I have always isolated with the otherwise-unused multi-megohm
resistors as stand-offs)

I think the first time I saw the notion of gluing pads of circuit board to
a larger piece of circuit board, they suggested a hot glue gun. Maybe
even just a slice of the glue, and the iron would heat it up enough, I
can't remember. The advantage is that it can be removed, if you need to
change things. But I'm sure I've had instances of hot glue coming undone
over the long term, so it may not be so good for permanent work.

The most success I've had with "crazy glue" is some types of plastic. It
seems less permanent on other materials than we are led to believe.
