Using an industrial adhesive such as Westech Aerosol HSEA is as effective as welding or soldering but is very much easier. First, sand the surfaces of the aluminum and smoothen out the rough areas. Clean them with an alcohol and remove the dust. Then, spray the HSEA throughout the surface. Use a roller to apply uniform pressure. Wait until the glue dries for a few more minutes. Once it is completely dry, smoothen the surface. The best thing about Westech HSEA is that unlike other adhesive products, this is friendly to the environment. It does not contain chlorinated solvents and hazardous air pollutants which also make it safe to our health. I've been using this product in my car repair shop to fix fractures in tractor trailers as well as car bodies. Just make sure to read the instructions before starting the procedure.

Silicone caulk and/or a good exterior latex caulk will also bond lighter aluminum pieces together with excellent results.

I would suggest melting the two pieces together (bonding) them. I also think that Aroldyte might work for gluing it.

ANS 2 - Araldite or JB Weld will usually work depending on what exactly you are joining and how much pressure will be needed.
