I would have thought that a standard 2-part epoxy like Araldite would do the job, as long as you got the surfaces ABSOLUTELY clean.

Use the two pack araladite, but not the fast setting one, the 24 hour setting one. Make sure everything is spottless and you'll never have a
problem
I did this on the bottom of a motorbike tank many years ago the night before going to the TT and it was still okay when the bike left my ownership
three or four years later
