We do not recommend using regular glue for bonding metal to wood. This is because everyday glue is not formulated to bond this purpose.

Regular glue is typically designed to work for porous surfaces. And while it may work on the wooden surface, it will be relatively ineffective for the metal surface, as it has little to no pores. Thus, the resultant bond will not be strong enough to hold these two surfaces together.
