Wouldn't think so. Metal to wood needs a little give in the
adhesive. Wood moves, metal doesn't. Try some of the construction
cements that come in a caulking tube or silicone adhesive. If it's
like lead sheet covering a roof vent or the like, lead-head nails are
the way.

As usual, I recommend Goop for dissimilar material bonding.

Pick a flavor.

For this, probably plumbers Goop since it's a lot less viscous
that the others. That would help make a uniform film thickness.


Good choice!

The methodology of the left has always been:

1. Lie
2. Repeat the lie as many times as possible
3. Have as many people repeat the lie as often as possible
4. Eventually, the uninformed believe the lie
5. The lie will then be made into some form oflaw
6. Then everyone must conform to the lie
