Glue gun vs JB weld vs Epoxy on alu cases....which is best?

Wow Juse, did you do that custom for the tread? ,

Yeah, I did it when I was supposed to be working..... 

Seems doable, I've been wanting to try it myself, so this gave me an opportunity to think about it. I like the idea of setting the controls & not worrying about if it gets bumped & turned somehow - at least for a pedal like an od where I don't change it anyway after it is set.

Well I like the idea of a ex bias on a rangemaster for when you use it directly on a tube amp, tweak it perfectly for those particular tubes....Or I guess when it gets real hot and the germs fall out of the sweetspot.

That's good thinking, Mario. More good reasons to give it a go.

oh did you ever try double sided tape? the 1mm thick foamy type will be perfect for what you are trying to do

That's exactly what I was going to say - double sided tape.
It comes in different strengths so get the strongest stuff you can find.

Mount the L-bracket posted earlier and tape that to the enclosure.
You could also use JBWeld to attach the L-bracket & I doubt very much that it would go anywhere.
I've also used it to fix a cracked engine block and it held well enough to not only fix the crack, but be drilled and tapped for a head bolt.
Mix it right and follow the directions and it's unbelievably tough stuff.

you don't have to rough up your surfaces

Yuck, I've had nothing but trouble with double-sided tape.

I agree with the bracket idea. Nuts, bolts, screws will always trump glue and tape. The only thing I use hot glue for is to glue in some foam to hold the battery in, a la the old MXR boxes.
