There are several ways of attaching one piece of metal to another you can screw, rivet, braze, weld and now the resin manufacturers have developed products that allow us to glue or "bond" metal together with amazing strength.
Bonding allows a person with limited experience with putting two pieces of metal together not only do a good repair but do it better than was possible a few years ago. However the situations are limited to non-structural applications but when used properly the repair will be easier to accomplish because no warping occurs and last longer because bonding helps seal seams against moisture that can remain in a welded seam causing problems down the road.
