JMT. Thank's Joe I would avoid the Glue as you may have to slightly reposistion the Opamp. How i do this is insert the socket into a stack of about 3 sockets so as to absorb the heat and keep the plastic on the socket from melting and distorting the pin locations then stick this stack in some conductive foam to hold the assy and to protect the IC from static damage aligh the IC then solder one of the center pins then carfully solder another center pin on the other side once your sure the IC is placed right then solder the remaining pins quickly to avoid heating. the paper clip method of JMT is a good Idea to move the chip into posistion
