Hi Alan,
Two ways to consider, I use double sided tape to hold non ferrous on my surface grinder, but the faces should be very clean, either cellulose thinners or meths, not white spirits (use that to get the old tape off or dissolve the tape between two parts), I also use this to hold multi parts together on the miller. The other is carpet stick down spray if sticking it to wood or metal, can be bought from most carpet places, again cleanliness of the surfaces is very important, no loose dust or greases, but does grip like the proverbial to a blanket.

Hope this helps.

John
