Check out the McMaster listings of 3M, and Hysol/Loctite epoxies in dual
plunger dispensers. I tend to use the long set versions to avoid them
setting in the mixer tube, which is super convenient not only for
precise mixing but accurate dispensing. Lots of alternatives. I've
used them in high power amateur rockets (10 G's, Mach 2, 50k ft AGL).
If you need a lot of general purpose epoxy the West Marine products are
good. Or some specialty ones from aircraftspruce.com

## On a side note, I asked the local mobile aluminum welding guy here in town
about coming here to weld some thicker wall boom material and other items for
me,
like channel al etc. He told me that IF you don’t require any kind of
electrical connection,
a special kind of glue can be used.... that is one helluva lot strong than any
welding process.
‘Only god can get it apart’ he tells me. They now glue motor bike frames
with it..and also bicycle
frames etc. It works too, but no electrical connection, and it cant be
taken apart, has to
be cut off. Ironicly, its being used on exotic al car bodies.
A good 2 part Epoxy.
If you do a good job preparing the surfaces, the metal will fail before
the epoxy.
(but I'm thinking about a 3Dprinter on the tower that melts the metal
and casts it in place. )
