I need to stick on some worktop edging. Which is the best contact adhesive
available these days for this sort of thing? Many years since I built a kitchen
with Formica and one of the old 45º edge trimmers !

I normally use Thixofix - which is non-drip *and* allows a small amount
of position adjustment before it finally grabs.

I've started using PVA wood glue. Provided you clamp the edging on well,
it makes a very strong joint. Never had one detach when trimming it.
Also allows you to manoevre the strip into the exact position rather
than the irrevocable grab with contact

Uhu from the Pound Shop. Behaves exactly like the old EvoStik AFAICS,
and a 500gm tube is a convenient size for me.

Gee, yes; I bought a new tin of Evostick the other day - it is totally
useless; I didn't actually take it back but it damn nearly breaks the
Trade Description Act.
