Glue for stainless steel

I would also like to know what type of glue I should use to fix stainless steel to a steel exterior door.

I am quite fond of two part epoxy, for most metals I use J-B Weld [affil links], which does and has for a very long time, stood up to the test of time. The only complaint you may have for it is that it will not match the color of the stainless steel.

If you are looking for a patch due to a dent, mar or scratch I suggest using Bondo [affil links] or some other automotive body filler, just follow the directions and repaint afterward.

Remember to thoroughly clean both surfaces before applying any adhesive, sometimes roughing up the surfaces assists as well.
