Hi

New here and hoping someone can answer my question. I have some aluminum 3/8' letters I wand to adhere to a wood handle. What would be the best & easiest adhesive to use/buy/

Thanks
 
i would get some kind of epoxy. i just tried the super glue brand epoxy a while back and it worked great. make sure to rough up the back side of the letters first so the epoxy will have something to grab. welcome to the forum :D

Epoxy. As Richard said, roughen the metal surface first. Make sure the metal is clean with no grease from handling. Use acetone to clean it.
 
I've used epoxy, and it works quite well. :thumbup:


But I've had far better (and faster) results with 3M "Super 77" spray glue. I'm not familiar with the chemical composition, but it seems to work like an aerosol version of contact cement. :thumbup::):thumbup:
