How to Glue Metal to Metal
- The first step to clean your metal surfaces and make sure they are free of any rust, dirt, or dust.
- From there you can take the fine grip sandpaper of your choice and use it to roughen both of the metal surfaces to ensure maximum bonding strength.
- After that, take your adhesive of choice (we recommend epoxy) and apply it to both of the metal surfaces.
- Press the metal surfaces together firmly. You can clamp them if you want to, but with an epoxy it is not necessary.
