Hi Todd,

    I hold pieces together with superglue for soldering all the time;
    often assemble the piece with superglue, then wire it. My own
    observation is that the superglue tends to hinder the solder flow
    somewhat. Your own mileage may vary. I use lots of flux, and look at
    it as a trade-off. You have the convenience of instant holding
    against the nuisance of less eager solder flow. 

Hope that helps
