I am trying to add aluminum accent stripes to some pen blanks, so far without luck. I have tried Titebond II & III, CA light & medium, and two-part epoxy. Taking overnight for full set with each glue and ruining the blank next day, it is consuming time and resources. I did scuff up the aluminum, hoping for a better bond. I have some JB Weld that I have not yet tried. Any advices with respect to an adhesive I have yet to try would be appreciated.

This topic comes up alot when doing segmenting pen blanks. Here are a few threads you can look through and get some ideas. Good luck.

My apologies. Disregard my post, above. There was a recent thorough discussion of this topic, but it was labeled "brass" and I did not have the sense to explore it first.
I was trying to improve upon my initial attempt, photo attached, which was SLOW going to avoid breaking the blank.
