I suspect I know the answer to this is no, use screws, but I thought I would ask.

I am building a sign for someone that has many inlaid letters. The sign is made of starboard. I know they have a welding kit, but I am not too keen on dropping $900 for that. Has anyone had any luck with an adhesive like liquid nails or something else holding up in an exterior application? I can use screws from the backside, but an adhesive would save time and frustration.

Thanks
