Adhesive for bonding copper table tops onto MDF?

We are a manufacturer for a leading rustic furniture industry.
We have a problem with our table tops all these table tops are hand hammered copper sheet and we apply onto 1 inch MDF sheet; sizes are for coffee and dining tables. now we are applying bond glue but face bubbling up after 1 or 2 month later.
Please recommend us adhesive for sheet.

Thank you

Have you considered an adhesive normally used for adhering Vinyl Composition Tiles to a sub-floor? It sets up in a fairly short amount of time, yet remains tacky afterwards.

The hammered copper topped table we have is starting to peel at the edges. I've tried "Super Glue" and "Gorilla Glue". I think I need a heat resistant glue due to hot objects and sun light on the table? Thank you in advance for your suggestions
