Thanks Jim and Neil2 for the adhesive tips.

Yah I tried that 3m stuff years ago. I wasn't impressed with it. In
previously thinking about arborite, I wondered what the best contact
cement would have been. Thinking about it now, it might be a minor
PITA to get up there with wax paper and laminate arborite.

The cloth backed vinyl sounds best. I'll make sure to specify
"commercial grade" for the paste.

Neil.
