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 !

Thixofix is still available.

same as it was. Proper solvent bostik
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. Rob
