    Is this copper a clean,full piece or does it have artwork/cut-outs,scroll work?Etc.

    I would think using Gorilla glue would hold it tightly,although it tends to expand over the edges while curing,if this is not desirable,don't use that one.

    Exterior glue(as I think this is going to be used outside,hence the MDF) would do the job well enough too.I suggest coating the entire project with a finish for long term protection(moisture and debris wouldn't get behind the copper then.)

    Am I close to what you are asking?
