Bonding metal?
I've just ordered some Araldite Fusion in the hope it will bond a Stainless Washer to Mild Steel Tube.
I'm not looking for it to withstand massive forces, think it will work or is there anything better out there I could try?

weld it? You can MIG weld stainless to mild as normal.

Thanks but I'm looking for something I can do myself and I don't have a welder.

It'll stay on until some external force is applied to it. Welding is the only way I'm afraid.

Nickel bronze brazing would fix it for ever.

Make some Weetabix, apply it to both parts and let it dry, failing that, buy a cheap Mig or get someone with one to apply a few blobs of weld

Rough the pieces up first to give a good key. Ensure the dissimilar metals don't touch through the adhesive or you could have corrosion problems.
