Hi,

What structural adhesive would be suitable to bond aluminum to aluminum?  I need something which will practically destroy the aluminum before the bond breaks if such an adhesive exists that is!!

Thanks

I've used dp490 for years to bond metallics to composites.
The key no pun intended is to make sure the surfaces are properly  abraded and cleaned prior to bonding.
