Welcome to the Colorado AR-15 Shooters Club Discussion Forums.
Best metal on metal glue
Looking for opinions/recommendations on the best metal to metal glue/epoxy.
I'm looking to glue a piano hinge to thin sheet metal. Obviously with the piano hinge it will be moving but not under any heavy load. One wing of the hinge will be anchored with screws to a wall the other moving a thin grate.

Tig Glue?
My EDC: Handcuffs, Bandana, and Ball Gag.
If I'm ever at a party and the cops come to arrest people. Ill blindfold myself, throw the ball gag in, handcuff my hands, and hide in a closet. Police never arrest hostages!
Mig glue. Easier to apply than tig
JE Weld

Hysol
This is a Loctite product. Used in aerospace applications. Wicked strong. Kinda pricey. Make sure both pieces are really clean. Helps to rough up the surface a bit with 100grit sandpaper. Then clean again with water and dish washing soap. Rinse thoroughly, of course. Once it's clean, don't touch with your skin as the oils will degrade the strength of the bond.
No longer accepting new Trust clients. Pretty much out of the law business completely.
Automotive panel adhesive. The base metal will fail before the glue bond will.

There are a bunch of different versions, but yes, the high-strength Hysol products are top of the class. There are several versions of it on Amazon, but the highest strength, heat cure products you can only buy from industrial supply houses.
JB Weld...they have some good products as well. Likely the application method and cure method is going to control which one works best. Just remember, everything else equal, the epoxy based adhesives will have a higher shear strength than the Methacrylate, Urethane (usually more flexible), Cyanoacrylates (instant adhesives like SuperGlue), and Neoprenes (contact adhesives) while also having better ability to fill, which means a better bond and superior strength.
