I assume that I need epoxy.

Some friends of my wife are making some crafts that involve gluing pieces of
thin metal, copper, aluminum, stainless steel, etc. to wood. Sometimes they
laminate several layers together for a certain kind of look.

Epoxy is overkill and over-messy.

If it's always flat-on-flat, use contact cement (like for
laminate). Otherwise, consider the liquid-nails/craft/projects
glues in tubes next to the caulk at your local hardware outlet.
Craft-store glues are sold in tiny quantities, and are fine for
a decoupage project, but are usually child-safe items... which
is a limitation we adults sometimes want to ignore.
