Help choosing High-Strength Glue

Looking for some sort of epoxy glue that will be able to withstand high temperatures. Where(locally) would I be able to find said glue and how much do you think it will end up setting me back? What specific type of glue should I look for? Are there different types of glue that I should avoid/aim for? This is for custom building a case if it helps any. I've also seen guides online to making a really high strength glue, should I consider this?

what are you gluing to what?

Is it just case related stuff (i.e. sheet metal, plastic, etc..)? Or is it computer stuff (i.e. heatsinks)?

High Temperatures....

As in 100F, 150F, 200F, 200+?

I'd look at Gorilla Glue, strongest retail stuff I can think of off hand.

Really need to know what you are gluing together, however I have had very good success with both "Liquid Nails" and "J B Weld". When used properly both are very tough and seem impervious to just about everything.

Lot's of small metal pieces being glued together.

Then as Dad suggest... JB Weld http://jbweld.net/products/jbweld.php

I've used it before, and it's strong. Plus it will stand up to 500Â° F. MORE than enough for what you need.

Just becareful not to weld yourself to anything. Laughing
