Definitely not recommended for high-current applications!I'd only use it whenever soldering isn't practical/possible. Soldering gets the best ohmic connection possible, short of welding.
Epoxy may fall a couple of orders of magnitude higher and doesn't
necessarily insure a gas-tight bond.If you do use it, clean the surfaces to be bonded 'til they're shiny
metal. Solder flux normally does that job for you by removing (light) surface oxidation.
