What is a good adhesive for bonding metal to metal?

Question

for tiny metal pieces that need to be glued together.

Answer 1

There's a really useful web site called thistothat (http://thistothat.com ) You enter the names of the 2 materials you need to bond, and it tells you which glue to use. For metal to metal, they say:

LePage's Metal Epoxy

J-B Weld

Faststeel Epoxy Putty if you have gaps to fill

Answer 2

It's a toss-up between JB Weld and Cold Weld by Permatex. Both are 2 part epoxies that can be drilled, sanded, machined, painted, and immersed in water.

I'm a little more partial to JB Weld. It seems to be a stronger bond. (Bonds iron, steel,aluminum,brass, bronze, copper, pewter, wood ceramics, plastic).

oh, you likely won't find these in hardware stores - need to go to an auto supply house (yellow pages)

Answer 3

idk, on racecars they use duct tape. I guess that would work. but I think the best thing to do would be to just weld them together.
