Looks like a good mechanical guy will just have to create something to lock them into the various devices where they are used....
Not to beat a dead horse, but I've seen/heard of hot snot/melt/glue used in nearly every industry, including aerospace. The only reason NASA doesn't use it is because it wouldn't pass degassing. If it weren't for the need to travel in space, you bet they would use it.
