  "I used Liquid Steel epoxy to attach threaded standoffs to the
  back of the panel"

  "Several people have written to ask me about the liquid steel
  epoxy I mention on this site. It turns out I was calling it the
  wrong thing; its correct name is Plastic Steel Epoxy. The
  manufacturers product page is

  I imagine that any epoxy would work for the task, but the
  Plastic Steel formula is stronger for metal-to-metal bonding
  than the other formulas. I would avoid using the 5-Minute
  formulas because the longer set-up times of the other formulas
  make it easier to get the stand-offs into their proper
  locations."
