Other adhesives will also work well depending on the joint design and bonding requirements.
Adhesive galvanized sheet metal.
The resin and hardener are combined to create a durable high strength bond that dries in minutes and can be used for repairing filling and rebuilding all metal and concrete surfaces.
Galvanized steel sheet plates are intended for use where greater corrosion protection is required without painting a lower cost alternative to stainless steel galvanized sheet and plates have a rust free protection for up to 30 years while maintaining strength with a durable surface coating.
Squirt a bead down the center and one on each side three inches from the edge.
Repeat the process for the other piece of sheet metal.
The best epoxy for metal is loctite epoxy metal concrete a two part system consisting of an epoxy resin and a hardener.

Metals depot stocks many sizes in precut sizes full mill sizes or we can hot dip virtually any.
For example the lack of protruding fastener heads gives both welded parts and glued metal parts a more streamlined appearance.
Adhesives offer several advantages that make them an attractive alternative to mechanical fastening or thermal joining such as welding soldering and brazing.
Thinking of using about 20ga material.
They can be effective on dissimilar metal substrates with dissimilar melting points.
Metal bonding adhesives vs welding.
In general hot dip galvanized steel responds best to an adhesive which is flexible and has high peel strength and impact resistance.
Epoxy glues form the strongest metal to metal bonds.
Advantages include the following.
Steel is dipped into hot zinc.
The coated zinc used on galvanized metal acts as a protective layer against rust.
If the surface of the galvanized metal were attacked by rust the zinc will be the first layer that will get corroded first thus preventing rust from penetrating to the surface of the steel beneath the coats of zinc.
The epoxy will spread out on its own when the pieces are pushed together so three beads are all that is necessary.
They want a polished stainless steel backsplash which i can provide them no problemo there but i am having trouble finding an adhesive to attach it to the wall.
