If your definition of heavy elements is >Boron, then I think you are not going to find any adhesives of any kind, space-approved or not. You have exactly five elements to work with -- hydrogen, helium, lithium, beryllium, and boron -- and I doubt very much if you can make any useful sort of adhesive out of hydride compounds or active metals. -- Henry Spencer @ U of Toronto Zoology {allegra,ihnp4,linus,decvax}!utzoo!henry
