Default Silicone caulking as a metal adhesive

The stuff you buy for
caulking should
be pretty good for adhesion to most materials except plastics.


But even then, it can be OK if used over a large area. I stuck a shallow
plastic box on top of my van's dashboard to hold pens etc, and it stayed
that way for years.
It's also effective for gluing expanded polystyrene.

Another good thing about silicone is its heat tolerance.
