Would this work?

Okay, I am finishing up my NESp, but I have one problem; the cart slot got cut a tad bit too big, so the Yobo MB can't be screwed in. If I were to hot glue the mobo to the wood case, would it hold, or would the constant insertion force of games cause it to rip off?

make some sort of mixturs. Put the following in a pot. A few hot glue sticks, super glue, bondo. >_> apply thusly.

He didn't say he wanted to superglue the board to a pot

I don't think it's a good idea. You might be unlucky and use some conductive glue. If you can glue it, why can't you screw it? (That sounds so wrong out of context...) Can't you screw the board to the back and not the side with the hole?

I dont see why some solid dabs of decent hot glue wont hold. Obviously white glue over the counter crap won't work. It might be a little flaky because in my experience (I can say, I actually have experience gluing PCB to wood :p), it kind of sucks because the wood is porous yet the PCB is not, and it's difficult to find a good glue that works for both.

As for "conductive glue", you'd need to LOOK for such a thing rather than accidently have it happen.

Consider going to Home Depot and finding longer screws

/edit: Don't put a mixture of bondo and glue in a pot unless you want to die from the fumes :p
