If your definition of heavy elements is >Boron, then I think you are
not going to find any adhesives of any kind, space-approved or not.
You have exactly five elements to work with -- hydrogen, helium,
lithium, beryllium, and boron -- and I doubt very much if you can make
any useful sort of adhesive out of hydride compounds or active metals.
