best way to adhere galvanized steel to alumapanel?

[gabagoo]

I need to produce a magnetic dry erase board 4x4, which is not an item you can buy, so in the past I have used 20 gauge galvanized steel. I want to buy a thinner sheet of galvanized steel and adhere it to alumapanel.

What are some of the methods I can use to put them together without fear of it releasing. Also what is the best method of install to line them up 100%?

Contact cement should work, just have to be careful when lining them up. other than that, you could use PL 9000 construction adhesive, spread it on with a old squeegee so its thin and even, and put some weight on it overnight.

Or get some more of those 3M 468 adhesive sheets you told me about.

You don't mention the size, but I would think a few strips of 3M 4910 or 4905, backed up with some good two part epoxy should do the trick.

As for lining them up. Put your tape and schmootz down on the first piece and put a stop at two sides, like top and left side. Hold it in the air on an angle, push against both stops and drop it on. It should go down perfectly. Then apply a brayer to smash all the schmootz down evenly. Wait a few hours and you're done.

schmootz : technical term for globular glues.

can also be found as schmutz :Oops:​

Not sure if something like this would work for your application or not?
