Aluminum to Aluminum Adhesives

[Kanadakid]

I need to attach 4 ---6 to 10 ft strips of 1/4 inch 6061 aluminum to the hull of 5052 marine grade aluminum.<br /><br />I want to use adhesive to accomplish this. Anyone have success in joining Aluminum to aluminum.<br /><br />Currently leaning towards Lord 406-19 , Water proof with good sheer, compresion and peel strength. Any experiences with it ?<br /><br /><br />Thanks in advance for your help,<br /><br />Don

Epoxy. Make sure surface is clean and sanded. Keep gap small but don't clamp the glue out. They glue airplane wings together with it.
