Contact adhesive

[single]

I'm doing a large area of ply with contact adhesive to bond formica. On the test pieces i have used Evostik impact. It works well but on the videos i have seen, they seem to use a more 'paint like' adhesive that leaves a more even coating rather than lumpy bits. Any idea what to use? Also, is it the same idea for bonding the cherry wood veneer?
This sort of stuff-

West system resin? Easy to work with, allows pieces to be moved and goes off and you will never separate the items.

Wipe both surfaces with acetone if you want a superb job.

Oh, no fumes, unless you like that bit of EVO.

West system resin.

I think he means pretty well any solvent-free epoxy resin. Or maybe he's a shareholder.

I've used this with great success.

for the Formica.

For the cherry wood veneer if you mean real wood veneer without an impervious backing e.g. foil, I would use waterproof PVA e.g EvoStik W.

Haven't used this yet but looking at it as an alternative to solvent adhesives for veneers - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Iron-on-G...y-Crafts-/370842360625?_trksid=p2054897.l4275

There was a good article on veneering in PBO 544, Feb 2012. The writer was a professional with lots of experience and some superb examples. He used 'the trade equivalent of Thixofix, Evo-stik TX528' from builders merchants but says he has also used Evo-stik Timebond. Photos show him brushing the adhesive on.

I used Thixofix for lining a shower cubicle with Formica. Good stuff.
