Strongest glue for undermounting stainless steel sink to quartz composite/stone?
It looks like epoxy is 10 times stronger than PL400 in pure tensile strength. But are there other factors, such as epoxy working poorly with steel/stone or being too brittle and cracking with temperature differences? I want to be able to pour both ice and boiling water in the sink.

What does the manufacturer recommend
Don't know if this is what you're looking for, but there is info at Jetstone.
It is important to really remove all grease from the stainless surface that is to be glued to the underside of the countertop.
Rubbing alcohol and scrubbing with a cloth usually works on other stainless constructions to make various adhesives stick properly.
As for which type of silicone to use, I'll refrain from guessing, but my hunch is that it's not sanitary silicone.

It could be beneficial to not only choose a glue that adheres very well but also, if an accident were to occur and she were to become seriously injured, it should be possible to replace it without having to replace the countertop as well.
