What kind of adhesive do I use to glue a viton Fluoroelastomer seal to stainless steel?

We're making a thermal chamber door and we cannot use any silicone so RTV is out. Temperatures range from -80F to +250F. Air pressure is room pressure.

This is the seal we're using;
Ideally, I'd like to use an off the shelf adhesive from mcmaster or grainger etc. I need to order it in fast.

I guess it's not as easy as I thought! Makes me feel better.
 
Do you have the luxury of trying a shot in the dark? O-ring cord is often joined with an industrial-strength super glue.
 
Superglue did enter my mind but I didn't know if it would outgas (which is bad in this industry) and I didn't know how long it would last.

At any rate, we ended up rivoting the seal to the oven door.
