Adhesive for bonding copper table tops onto MDF?

We are a manufacturer for a leading rustic furniture industry.
We have a problem with our table tops all these table tops are hand hammered copper sheet and we apply onto 1 inch MDF sheet; sizes are for coffee and dining tables. now we are applying bond glue but face bubbling up after 1 or 2 month later.
Please recommend us adhesive for sheet.

Thank you

Have you considered an adhesive normally used for adhering Vinyl Composition Tiles to a sub-floor? It sets up in a fairly short amount of time, yet remains tacky afterwards.

The hammered copper topped table we have is starting to peel at the edges. I've tried "Super Glue" and "Gorilla Glue". I think I need a heat resistant glue due to hot objects and sun light on the table? Thank you in advance for your suggestions

Hi, Rusty. Letter 13424 has some interesting opinions about what's best.
