Gorilla glue seems to work well for me on metal,fiberglass and plastic.
sweet I will have to try it
I got some second hand wickedbeard armor and the snaps were attached with CA glue. It seems to work pretty well.
May I suggest keying the metal prior to gluing, make some scores with a dremel so the glue has something to hold on to.
i agree with werstrooper, but i'd also use some 2-part epoxy.
unfortunately we do not have CA glue out here. but keying the metal is a good tip
E6000 glue works from anywhere walmart sells it
No superglue in Washington? That seems odd.Quote:

CA is short for cyanoacrylate, or superglue. The brands vary, satellite city is popular, I use maxi-cure. The idea is to get the thick gel stuff, that regular watery superglue wont do a thing except run all over the place. I've seen Zap-a-gap used recently also.
If I'm going metal to metal the safest bet is JB Weld or another 2 part epoxy for metal.
I think Bondo will do a pretty good job, Araldite will do the job to but from experience if you want something to last a long time you don't use Araldite.
