Default adhesive for sticking metal fire trim to render

Hello,

Can someone advise on what adhesive I need for sticking a steel fire
trim to fireproof render? This will be the only means of securing the
trim in place; I'm not looking for something that's only a sealant.

Someone recommended Everflex Heat Mate sealant, but I don't think this
is the right thing, given that it's marketed as a sealant and more
importantly the manufacturer says it's not recommended for stone.
(http://www.everbuild.co.uk/heat-mate).

I'd like something I can put a couple of beads of onto the three sides
of the fire trim before fitting; hold the trim in place with some wood
or whatever; and then remove the wood and the trim stays where it is!
I know of several products I could then use for sealing, but it's the
sticking I haven't worked out yet!


Just in case this isn't enough information: the trim will be around the
fireplace opening for an unenclosed solid-fuel fire.
