Hi Gene,
I have used hot glue from a hot glue gun in the past (the Kind for
arts and crafts) to hold cards in. It works well for high vibration and
you can peal the glue off to get the card out if you need too. Not as
good as a mechanical hold down but certainly better than nothing and not
as permanent as potting compound. May be enough added stay puttedness
for your application or untill you can come up with a better solution.
