I glue large caps, either electrolytic or heavy polyester with long thin leads (which crack on vibration) with thick contact cement, since forever, think for the last 47 years, in MI amplifiers which are subject to *rough* handling and vibration.
Hot melt cracks and does not stick well to smooth surfaces , even less to, say, electrolytic cap sheaths, while contact cement is elastic enough to survive lots of impact and vibration and sticks to anything.
Yet when you want to pull a cap, you just pull it out with not too much effort.

Hi, I second the hot melt glue. It works well. An alternative is to use automotive grade double stick tape. A strip about 1 cm wide will easily hold most capes in place. Nice thing about that is you can get the part off if need be.
contact cement is not something I every thought about. Hmmmm , the white Dow rtv sounds like it might be a good answer also, Lots of good ideas everybody , Thanks for taking the time to help out

As used in high vibration situations.
Or hot melt glue... hot melt glue is used for low pressure moulding, you can totaly encapsulate the electronics.
