Adhesives typically only have strength in compression, or shear, not in tension,
Any bending or misalignment of the bonded joint, and you will be back where you started, hence, the sam mac recommendation of welding.
Actually, the stick product they sell at gun shows and flea markets that can be applied with a torch (propane, mapp, etc,,,,) does a pretty good job,,,
This would be a better application than their demonstration of sealing a hole in a beer can.
How do you get a hole on a beer can, anyways!!??
