Default Aluminum to lite ply adhesive?

Building a jet and want to adhere an aluminum duct to the formers-lite ply- as an added heat sink. There will be s.s. thrust tube inside. Any adhesive out there that will give good adhesion? May have to go to 1/64th ply if there is nothing to provide a solid bond. Any recommendations?

Goop sticks to aluminum quite well. Rough it up and try it on a test piece first.

I would use epoxy. I believe that Bob Violett sells an epoxy that he recommends for building his jets. Some type of aerospace grade epoxy. Personally I use west system epoxy but BV knows jets.
