Default Best glue for aluminum?

I do a lot with 6061 aluminum, without welding.

I'm expert at superglue. It's okay. Been trying Gorilla Glue. Even with the
surfaces sanded and clamped for 24 hours, seems it isn't even good as
superglue. Maybe I haven't given it enough effort?

What's the best glue for aluminum?

Thanks.




Look at Sika brand adhesives. They are used in the motor body building
industry for sticking aluminium panels on to trucks/buses/cars.

Maybe Sika 291

It sticks very well, water proof and very strong. Price is the same as
the usual RTV adhesives etc.
