Wow, that super special glue from back 15 years would be great, Automatico!

 

In one of my Franken projects I have used a pretty cheap Epoxy glue (from a cheap goods store), two component (resin+hardener), mixed 1:1 and stirred for a couple of minutes.

It contains the same chemical components as higher value Epoxy glues. I had tested it on other occasions and it has proven to be equally good as other pricey glues. Same with Super Glue!

I am not blaming anyone for anything, but what I had learned over the years glueing metal parts, is that they need to be roughened on the areas of glueing.

Means no glossy surfaces, clean of oils and dirt. I roughen the areas with a bigger grain sand paper and clean the surface of any dust, then glue the parts.

 

Those micro rough areas will catch the glue even stronger!
