Step 1 lay the two sheets you will be gluing together on a flat surface and pour acetone onto a clean rag.

Remove any dust dirt wax oil or grease including fingerprints.
Cyanoacrylate adhesives or instant adhesives are ideal for bonding copper.
Surfaces should be clean and dry.
Take care to not touch your bare fingertips to the surfaces to be bonded.
Solderless copper bonding also known as cold soldering gluing copper or cold welding uses a liquid durable polymer which is applied to rigid pipe fittings to literally weld them together hermetically absolutely nothing can get in impenetrable.
Clean the metal.
Soak a rag in lacquer thinner and thoroughly polish the newly etched surface with it.
The highest strength bonds are created with methyl cyanoacrylates such as the original permabond 910.
Do not apply the adhesive to the copper.
Copper glue solutions cyberbond is highly regarded for setting the strictest requirements for all of the adhesives we produce.
Apply the adhesive to the porous substrate with a glue roller.

Gently scuff sand the back of the copper veneer with 80 or 120 grit sandpaper.
Apply adhesive to the prepared surface as the manufacturer directs.
Cyberbond is the adhesives manufacturer you can depend upon for superior quality copper adhesives available in high strength low viscosity quick set time or a variety of colors.
Use fine grit sandpaper to roughen the metal surfaces you will be gluing together.
Apply the metal glue.
Rub the rag over the entire surface of the two sides of sheet metal you will be gluing together.
Position the pieces and press together.
In a well ventilated area thoroughly wash the back side of the copper with water or acetone using a steel wool or synthetic steel wool scotch brite pad.
