Does anyone know of any good, (hopefully one part) adhesive to bond a stainless steel bracket to a piece of stainless steel sheet metal? Needs to be applied on a vertical wall at room temperature but still adhere at 30 degrees F. Wants to be able to have a shear strength of about 100 psi....
Regards,
Peter

Took the word out of my mouth.
Check out the selections from 3M.

Corrosion, every where, all the time.

Best Adhesive - epoxy

Most important aspect to pay attention to: the cleanliness of both surfaces (just as in painting, the three most important points are SURFACE PREPARATION, SURFACE PREPARATION, SURFACE PREPARATION).

I've heard of an acyrlic adhesive, Pro-Poly that has a strong lap shear strength bonding to steel. It is a two part adhesive so I'm not sure if you would be interested. Surface preperation is key.
