I did! With silicone sealer.
Not what I'd call an adhesive. I would use super glue or Gorilla glue.
Not back in those days, you wouldn't!
Nothing wrong with s/s, applied sensibly. I have even repaired shoes, sticking on, new soles.......
Superglue has been around a long time, they used it in Vietnam war to stick wounds together rather than stitches. I had a gash on my head superglued together by local hospital a few years ago...
Araldite (two part epxoy) was used to stick Mosquito planes together in WW2, they have recovered parts where the wood was pretty much gone but the glue was as strong as ever.
