Need suggestion for metal adhesive

Postby devilgirldesign » Fri Jul 30, 2010 11:32 pm

Hello Ladies...I'm looking for your opinions on adhesives/glues that work well bonding metal to metal. Does anyone have something they have had success with?

Thanks!

Have you checked thistothat.com? I've tried the JB Weld for glass to metal and it works great, doesn't look very pretty though.

Yeah, I would use a 2 part epoxy, or you can come over to my house and solder it!

If the pieces are small, I bought a single epoxy glue that dries clear and glossy, and can also be used like diamond glaze that would work, I think they sell it at JoAnn too. Forgot the name...sorry.

I have used JB weld with a fair ammount of success but it is a bit of a mess. I have had no luck with E6000, which I always thought would stick to anything. You might also consider rivets. It would require drilling a hole in both peices. There are pop rivets, and rivets that you hammer down to hold the pieces tight. It would be an obvious thing, but it can be integrated into the design. I have also seen people use small tubes, and flare the ends with an all it can look very clean and modern. Welding or soldering is ideal if you have the option, and the ability to clean the piece after the joint has been created. If the pieces are thin you will want to solder.

The pieces are very small, so soldering would be tricky, and JB weld would show through, I think (some of the metal has negative spaces) and I need the adhesive to be clear.

Thanks, ya'll!
