Hi Stewart,

What I'd use is some good contact cement, like Barges, or Weldwood. Make sure you "rough" up the stainless with some sandpaper first, & then clean with alcohol. Once the alcohol is all dried off, then just follow the directions on the can. I would put two coats of cement on, before sticking them together,,, just make sure thet are positioned correctly. They will stick for good. Ed

Do what Ed says exactly..... solvent based contact cement is the best, just let it dry and use two coats.... I use weldwood and have no prlblems glueing anything, with the exception of latigo and oil tanned leather.
