If you can show me a single peer-reviewed article or university text book
which
indicates that the strong force is responsible for the binding _between_
nuclei in
metals, ionic or molecular solids I will go out and buy a hat then eat it.

The strong force are indeed strong, but act over extremely short distances
within nuclei, between nucleons.  The forces between nuclei are 99.999999% 
electromagnetic in nature, with the outer valence electrons interacting 
with each other.

In molecular solids they interact to form overlapped electron states
reducing
the overall system energy state and hence forming chemical bonds.  In ionic 
solids the opposite ionic charges attract to form crystalline solids.  In 
metals the outer fermi electrons "smear out" into distributed free electron
clouds, again reducing the overall energy state and binding the material
together.

There are no strong forces involved.
