Which grab adhesive?

coated metal, little shear/peel force, exterior use and will
have some exposure to rain/dew, no direct sunlight)
My first inclination is to get out the power tools, drill
through the p/c steel and screw it to the woodwork. Although
this is complicated, since the steel is in place, so it's
difficult to get screws through the steel, into the woodwork.
The work also has to be done up a ladder, so dismantling and
acrobatics are not possible.
However I'm aware of all these "new fangled" adhesives and
wonder if any of them are up to the job. There won't be any
load-bearing, just supporting the wooden panels at the top.
Their weight is suppported by what they are resting on.
Looking at the toolstation catalog, they have a plethora
of offerings, in price order:
Glue Screws - solvent free (their own brand)
Glue Screws - solvent based
Gripfill *
Pinkgrip
Gripfill solvent free **
Pinkgrip solvent free **
Stixall M.S. polymer
Sticks Like
* the only one that explicitly mentions exterior use
** specifies interior use only
The question is: which one to use. I don't want to have
to go back and redo the work for at least 10 years, yet
apart from the superlatives that make up the descriptions
of each product, there's little to say which ones are
better or worse - or more/less suitable for my task.
So, which ones do you use?
War staories about exceptional performance (either good
or bad) appreciated.

There's a link to an adhesion specifier.
But, with your problem, I would start phong then and Everbuild (who make
PinkGrip): http://www.everbuild.co.uk/
and ask them if they would recommend anything in particular. Ask for
"technical".
I've done this with several companies where I had a non standard problem to
solve and they were all generally very helpful.

Thanks chaps. Looks like it'll be the Stixall. It does sound
like rather handy stuff.

I fitted all my skirting with Pinkgrip seems a good product, just bought
some Evostick "Evograb adhesive ... it was USELESS .. it says high grab in

solvent) was out. Did NOT do what it says on the tube.
Unfortunately, second time I have been disappointed with an Evo product.
Years ago bought their bathroom sealant "with extra 30% grip and fast cure"
to install WHB and shower enclosure. It just would not cure, kept
redissolving when wetted. Phoned tech support. They told me it was an
Acrylic emulsion, which will do that until cured. AND quoted cure times
apply to 2 mm thickness, my thickness would take weeks. It did. I never saw
it on the market again.

Acrylic sealant is pants. I noticed lately that some high-street firms
are passing it off as silicone sealant by cunningly not actually
mentioning what sort it is anywhere on the tube, leading less careful
buyers to fall into the trap.

Followup, some weeks after posting this. I went with the advice
and used Stixall. Did the job nicely.
