Don't use shoo goo for anything....except to put on the bottom of your
shoe.
Use GE Silicone Household clear 'glue'.
The GE stuff will not go hard like all the goo products.
There may be a concern in your application with the byproducts of curing
of the silicone or goo products.
Perhaps an aluminum pop rivet with an aluminum washer on the back side.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

I'm building a Leyden jar using good old Alcoa aluminum foil for the
plates.

What's a simple way to bond sheets of aluminum foil together
electrically?

I thought that Shoe Goo will be adequate to attach the foil to the sides

of the garbage pail (Did I mention that the core of the jar is a typical

residential trash can?).

Thanks,

Ron Hunsicker
