Google has failed me. I want to glue one of those plastic self healing cutting mats to some wood and am unsure what type of glue to use. Any suggestions. I'm in the UK. |

Any contact adhesive sold by many household companies like B&Q. |

Just make sure you weigh the mat down while the adhesive dries so the mat doesn't curl at the edges. Jim |

Contact cement would be good, as well: paint it on both the wood and the mat. It will set, on contact. Cheers! |

Thanks all. I was going to try contact adhesive but wanted to get a second opinion before I covered it all. Thanks again |

If you go the route of Contact Cement, pay close attention to the time limits: it needs to 'cure' for X amount of time, but then you only have Y amount of time to put them together -- it has a short expiration time. Typically they need 15-20 minutes to 'cure', and then you will have up to 2 hours to bond them -- after that, you will need to re-apply the Contact Cement, and start over. Read the directions, carefully, for proper times. Cheers! |
