How can I adhear sheet metal without welding?

I want to make a hobby sized spray booth, but I dont have any welding skillsHow can I adhear sheet metal without welding?
you can use a high strenth resin or bonding agent like areldite or no nails but to be honest mig welding isnt that difficult to do as lon g as you keep moving the probe in very small circles and you have the right settings on you welder (for thin steel use a mig welder on it's minimum setting)


the basic rule weld a bit then hit the steel with a big hammer if the weld snaps the setting is to low if the welder melts the steel then the setting is to highHow can I adhear sheet metal without welding?
Bolt it together, then seal with...uh he's not too sure
You can use pop rivets, or self-tapping sheetmetal screws. With a little thinking, you can easily put together something using brackets, or angle iron, or bending your sheetmetal to form small lips on the edges to screw together.





Good luck,


Stevo.
you can


-solder (toughest)


-rivet (easy and you can buy a manual rive tool for not too much $)


- or use aluminum tape (cheapest, easiest and most versatile). The type used in ventilation ducts... it's very sturdy.
JB Weld Or Quick Steel Works Good...
