I've got 4mm cherry faced ply that I want to glue to an existing bulkhead. I've fitted plastic backed veneer before to renovate a boat interior and used both contact adhesive and pva, both held ok but have pros and cons. The contact needs to be positioned exactly, prior to fitting, the pva has the advantage it can be moved around but needs bracing whilst adhesive goes off. It's a big panel so fitting accurately first time will be tricky to say the least, even doing it in 2 halves.
Just wondered if anyone has used other alternatives that are maybe halfway houses?
Epoxy would be like pva and require bracing, wondered about polyester (car body filler) which sets reasonably quickly and is used extensively in modern boats.
I'd be interested in any helpful thoughts/ideas.
