I'm trying to use these strain gauges to measure bending of a metallic cantilever (metal TBD). Does anyone know what adhesive I can use to glue the strain gauges? I'd rather not have to use an oven for curation, unless it is my very last resort.

Thanks in advance!

    Have you done any research on this question yourself? It's a pretty broad question right now, and asking for the "best" is usually a matter of opinion. Please tell us what you have considered and what your particular application is. – Elliot Alderson Oct 06 '18 at 19:32
  • IMO special glue for strain gauges, that you can't buy on supermarket or on aliexpress. – Marko Buršič Oct 06 '18 at 20:18
  • Ask the Omega guys – they are the experts in their strain gauges, and will definitely know best. – Marcus Müller Oct 06 '18 at 23:27
  • the link that you provided has adhesive for sale https://www.omega.com/pptst/Strain_Gage_Adhesives.html – jsotola Oct 07 '18 at 04:00

I have experience with two-component HBM X60 glue specially made for strain gauges. It's quite expensive, but i can tell, it withstands a lot.

But in general, i would say that any kind of fast cyanoacrylic glue would suit your needs. I have tried 350 ohm, one axis strain gauges with cheap cyanoacrylic glues which you can get on every corner, and it worked well.
