Product Information

Choosing the best glue for metal is essential to a strong fit. Metal glues generally fall into three types: epoxy, polyurethane, and super glues.

Clean the metal. Surfaces should be clean and dry. Remove any dust, dirt, wax, oil, or grease, including fingerprints, from all parts with a cloth. You may want to slightly roughen smooth surfaces using fine-grit sandpaper. A quality exterior construction adhesive should be a polyurethane-based, moisture-curing adhesive to create stronger bonds than ordinary construction adhesives. Like many polyurethanes, it works on metal across a wide range of temperatures, making it the best metal glue for outdoor use.

If this happens, soaking the area in warm water or gently rubbing it with oil can help. In more severe cases, medical advice might be required. Is there anything I can’t use super glue on? Apply the metal glue. Be sure to read your product instructions for any details on application and drying times before starting. While many super glues are suitable for use on some plastics, Loctite’s plastic-focused product is suitable for use on all plastics. These include polyethylene (PE) and polypropylene (PP), which some of the other products on our list specifically specify they don’t work on.

Join the pieces. Position the pieces and press together firmly to ensure a tight seal without gaps. Leave parts undisturbed as the bond forms.The best epoxy for metal is Loctite Epoxy Metal/Concrete, a two-part system consisting of an epoxy resin and a hardener. 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.
