Default Super Glue Heatsink to Brushless Motor

I have a heat sink that I wanna put on my Mini Revo's motor. Its not the "clip on" type. I dont have thermal glue/epoxy, etc. Can I just use a small amount of super glue around the ends of the HS? I read that putting a HS on wrong or with the wrong materials will hurt more than help.

If you glue it with a non thermal conductive adhesive then best case scenario would be the heatsink won't help, worst case, it would insulate (keep heat in). If it can't be mounted correctly, it's better to leave it off.
