I've used cyanoacrylic (CA, superglue) quite a bit. The trick is to get a small dot of the stuff. For that, I put a drop of the CA on an old piece of copper PCB. Medium viscosity works well. The copper surface doesn't set the glue off, so it stays liquid. Then I use a piece of wire (1.2 to 1.5 mm dia.) to transfer a dab of the CA to where I need the component.
CA is depolymerized by relatively low heat. I have never had a problem in removal as the heat lossens it. Of course, I have only used it for 805 and 1206 resistors and caps, nothing so big that it doesn't get hot. You can buy commercial formulations for the same purpose, but the ones I have found were only sold in large quantity.
