a strong structural adhesive for joining metal components. Originally designed to work specifically with brass components, this adhesive provides a cohesive bond within minutes. When working with stainless steel, expect a longer cure-time, anywhere from a few hours to overnight. If a faster cure-time is desired, use the loctite 7649 primer to bond stainless steel components in minutes. Loctite metal adhesive will simplify your project assembly while achieving a professional look.
