Good adhesive for rubber to aluminum?

Question

I'm inserting a rubber grommet into a 2" hole in aluminum/aluminium piping. What's a good adhesive that will bond the rubber to the inlet size for a closed fit, and will be able to withstand up to 200 degrees Fahrenheit?Only asking here, because I don't want to get biased answers to steer me towards a product from a sales clerk.

there is no adhesive which will reliably stick rubber to aluminum, your best alternative would be automobile gasket cement

Best bet here is to ditch the grommet all together and just use a urethane sealant, such as window weld, Figure if that stuff bonds to glass it will bond to anything, dries to a hard rubber substance and is tough as nails, I use for all types things it was not intended for,

Just make sure the grommet is an interference fit and you shouldn't need glue.
