what would be an appropriate glue to reattach a loose cornelius keg top and bottom? I was thinking of using liquid nails project. Does anyone have anything they have used with success?

Gorilla glue didn't do a good job, even when I prepped the surface. I had 6 to use the glue on.
My method. I prepped 3 of them really well, used emory cloth to prep the areas to be glued, wiped them and then used a sponge brush to wet them, then used the glue. The other three I didn't do any prep work and only wet them. I put around 100 lbs of weights from my workout bench/barbells on each keg to hold the tops/bottoms down against the force from the expanding glue
The bottoms/tops that I glued came loose with minimal effort, prepped and non-prepped, probably less than 20lbs of force. I wouldn't trust the any of the bonds to hold with 5 gallons of beer in it.
I will most likely make handles with some cording that goes around the bottom of the keg and use stiff vinyl tubing for handles. The down side is that I could have bought the cording and polyethelyne tubing for less than the cost of the "pricy" gorilla glue
