Go to your local Harbor Freight store (print off a 20% off coupon before going, . . . get it on line at Harbor Freight), . . .

Use the brush, . . . apply a THIN coat of Weldwood contact cement, . . . go back and forth with the brush, . . . smoothing out puddles, . . . and when you have both pieces cemented, . . . gently wand over the pieces with the heat gun.

AND, . . . put them together while they are still warm. Finish the process with a rolling pin, . . . a seam roller, . . . or your thumbs, . . . push em together, tight.

This is the best way, I find most people use too much glue, you only need to use a little

An old credit card makes a good applicator/spreader to spread out the glue and make a nice thin layer, especially for larger surfaces.
