In some preferred embodiments of the present invention, elements to be joined with adhesive have brackets attached thereto and are drawn together by a fastening or drawing device tightened upon the brackets. In such embodiments, the brackets are preferably secured to the surfaces of the elements by adhesive covering at least part of the base of the brackets and adjacent surfaces of the elements being joined. The bracket bases can have sharp edges enabling release of the brackets by being tapped. Some preferred embodiments employ adhesive "rivets" passed though apertures in one element and attached to an adjacent element. The adhesive defining each adhesive rivet preferably covers an area around its associated aperture so that when the adhesive hardens, the cap or head of the adhesive rivet holds the apertured element to the adjacent element even if the adhesive does not bond or bonds poorly to the apertured element.
