I am not using them so I don't know, it's pretty basic though, if it says the adhesive for metal, get that one for metal. If it says for plastic, get that one for plastic.

800813 looks like the one. Notice that they don't say "structural" for liability reasons! But there are very similar products that do.

Notice that they will often be very similar and only change by the cure time. The longest cure time is not a big deal, put it together and leave it for the day, it's not like you are going to be needing to unclamp it in the next hour to go to a show.

But at the same respect, look at the heat needed, you don't want to bond it and leave it over night when it drops to 20 degrees in the garage, that is NOT good with these bonding adhesives. Always look at the heat needed and give it accordingly.
