Can anyone suggest a "for sure it's permanent" way to "glue" 1/8"
thick stainless steel maple-leaf solid profile about 6" X 6"
vertically to tombstones of granite or stone.


Use GE silicone II caulk. Sticks real good and is flexible.

If you want it to be permanent, use epoxy. Silicones may "stick" but they
can be removed - by force .You have to burn epoxies before they will fail,
and upto that point they have a shear strength of 15tons per square inch!.
