glue for aluminum?

does anybody know an epoxy or adhesive of some kind that would glue metal magnets to aluminum? Its for the skin on my stand. Steel tubing for the frame and brushed aluminum for the skin. I'm trying to not use hinges thanks.

try autozone and look for the 2 part that comes in 2 tubes that has one plunger. you have to mix it, but it would probably work.

I tried a two part epoxy from home depot that said it was for metal, it stuck to the magnet but not the aluminum. I'll try liquid nails.

I wonder if JB Weld works on aluminum? That stuff is great on other metals. The Liquid Nails worked great on the aluminum frame of my greenhouse.
