Have you used the Gorilla glue on aluminum to wood or some other metal yourself Dr Chris?

Yes, successfully glued magnets to wood with Gorilla epoxy.

However, further research suggests another possibility that might be better for your application, and easier to make a really neat join with. The smart money says that 3M VHB (very high bond) double-sided tape will give you a super-strong join that's also sufficiently flexible to accomodate any thermal expansion/contraction in the metal. Comes in a variety of widths. As long as the wood is sealed and smooth the standard tape from eBay or regular retail outlets seems to be the one to go for, you don't need any of the ones formulated for specialist applications like fixing aluminum panels to skyscrapers!

Not used it myself but next time I have a similar job I'm certainly going to try it.
