I made a really cute wall-hanging for a kitchen by crafting pretend cookies out of polymer clay and gluing them to a metal baking sheet. I used e6000 glue which fell apart right away. What is the best glue to use if I want this to be permanent? Also, what glue would you use to attach a metal hanging hook to the back of the tray? (The first time I glued it, I forgot to sand off the no stick teflon from the cookie sheet. This time I would sand the tray before gluing, but first I need to figure out the most permanent gluing option.) Thanks so much!

Cute idea with the cookies and tray!!
Rhino Glue
http://rhinoglue.com/uses.html
I have had very good, permanent results from this glue!
It is money well spent! I have glued glass together, vinyl to glass, a very porous pumice type stone that broke in half and is used for "rubbing cement block". And it is holding together fine. I even glued my toilet paper dispenser to the wall (crazy huh?), for years I have tried many options to fasten it tight to the wall. You know one side is secure in the wood stud, and the other side flopping around. Poor soul that has to remove this dispenser now that I fixed it with Rhino glue.
I am sure Rhino Glue will work on your cookies to tray, and many other household fixes. Good Luck with your crafting endeavors!

I would also perhaps suggest a 2-part epoxy glue, or perhaps a polyurethane glue (like Gorilla Glue --be aware that it swells though), for the greatest bond since they both work on many materials.
There are probably other tube glues that say on their packages that they work specifically for metal though (although you might also want one of those that's also "flexible" when dry).
Whichever you use, be sure to prepare the surface and apply the glue exactly as they recommend though (and you might also want to avoid stressing the bond for a few days until the final "cure" is complete).
Also, make sure the glue is fairly heat resistant if you're using the tray anywhere it could heat up ---E6000, for example, can fail if it's heated sufficiently and the object it's holding is in a position where it could slide with gravity, etc.
As for polymer clay, there are a load of adhesives that can be used with it under different circumstances... most are discussed on this page at my website, if you want to check it out too:

Good luck!

The polymer clay pros use Super Glue type adhesives. Metal and glass both work. Just be sure to let the glass cool with the overn door closed, after curing.

Try Barge Cement. It's a contact type adhesive and is very strong once it is set. Follow the label instructions - i.e. put a thin film of adhesive on both parts and let them sit for about 15 min. before you put them together. Once you do this there is no going back, so get it right the first time. It's available locally (that I know of) through Tandy Leather Co., probably other places as well.
