Electronic – What adhesive is best to glue strain gauges to metal

adhesivesgaugegluestrain-gage

I'm trying to use these strain gauges to measure bending of a metallic cantilever (metal TBD). Does anyone know what adhesive I can use to glue the strain gauges? I'd rather not have to use an oven for curation, unless it is my very last resort.

Thanks in advance!

I have experience with two-component HBM X60 glue specially made for strain gauges. It's quite expensive, but i can tell, it withstands a lot.

But in general, i would say that any kind of fast cyanoacrylic glue would suit your needs. I have tried 350 ohm, one axis strain gauges with cheap cyanoacrylic glues which you can get on every corner, and it worked well.
