Need a Cold Glue/weld for steel

It would be fine, even helpful, to maintain a gap between the sheets to help create a 3rd dimension. Ultimately, the piece will be wall mounted using screws through all three pieces. Till then I need to hold them together.

What could I use: JB Weld, epoxy, exotic glue, horse manure what, what what???

The gap your wanting would be a problem with using caulking. Butyl is much stronger than silicon but with a spacing between plates would be very weak.

Epoxy would be the next choice as the final adhesive. I would use a 5 minute super glue to pretack all parts together giving the epoxy time to set without movement.

The SS would have to be extremely clean of oils, alcohol cleaner, with deep cross hatching where the epoxy is appiled as this would give the epoxy someting to grab too.

Hilti makes a epoxy for there concrete anchor inserts, so that may work well.

There is also a pressure bonded epoxy that sets as pressure is applied. I never used this stuff so can't tell you anything about it.

I would consider using two types of epoxy as over time the hard set epoxy will seperate where the soft set epoxy would be flexable. UV might be a problem if in the sun.

You might also want to consider using SS pins for the offset strength with the pins being epoxy fasten. A slight blind hole in the plates for the pins. This would hold well for vertical shear strength. A end mill bit would work for the blind holes.

Good a thing to write you .

I have a proposal for you,this however is not mandatory nor will I in any manner compel you to honour against your will.

Your profile pushed me to send you this mail,I am
Aicha Mecca,21years old and the only daughter of my
late parents Mr.and Mrs.Sheik Mecca.

My father was a highly international reputable businness magnet-(a cocoa merchant) who operated in the capital of Ivory coast,Abidjan during his
days.

It is sad to say that he passed away mysteriously in
Europe during one of his business trips abroad year
12th.Febuary 2001.

Though his sudden death was linked or rather suspected to have been masterminded by an uncle of his who travelled with him at that time.But God knows the truth!

My mother died when I was only 4 years old,and since
then my father took me so special. Before his death on
Febuary 12th 2001,he called me who accompanied him to the hospital and told me that he has the sum of twenty two million,seven hundred thousand United State Dollars.(USD$22.700,000) compiled in two metallic trunk boxes(Consignments) and deposited with one of the leading security company in Europe.

He further told me that he deposited the consignment in my name,and finally issued a written instruction to the security company whom he said is in possession of all the necessary but legal documents to this consignments and the security company .

I am just 21 years old and a university undergraduate
and really don't know what to do,this is because I have suffered a lot of set backs as a result of incessant political crisis here in Ivory coast.The death of my father actually brought sorrow to my life.

I am in a sincere desire of your humble assistance
in this regards to help me travel to europe and clear the two trunk boxes while I forward you all the necessary
but legal documents that back up the deposit of the consignment.

Now permit me to ask these few questions:- 1. Can you honestly help me as your daughter? 2. Can I completely trust you? 3. What percentage of the total amount in question
will be good for you?

Please,Consider this and get back to me as soon as
possible. Through my private email box bellow for
security reasons:([email protected])

Thank you so much as you read this mail comprehensively
and get back to me.

My sincere regards,
Aicha Mecca.

Maybe...GE silicon II. You would have to have a press to evenly press teh peices together then wipe off what squeezes out. Allow to dry and they won't come apart without a fight.
