Boat building epoxy systems will create a permanent bond between two pieces of aluminium - provided, as indicated below, that the surfaces are properly prepared. You will need to rough the surfaces to create a keying face for the epoxy and clean them carefully with a solvent that does not leave a film behind, acetone works well. Boat building epoxy small sized kits are available at all Whitworths outlets and online. Don't just buy a resin kit, you will need to add glue powder to it, you can get little two part glue kits instead.
