In this Technical Note, we describe the use of adhesives for vacuum seal and sample fixation. Some of epoxy resin with inorganic filler can be used to assemble small vacuum chambers and water/current feedthrough for high vacuum, if enough caution is provided. An alloy sheet made of metal foils and boron oxide glass can be used to fix a sample to a holder.
