From here I went ahead with the contact cement. I used 2 whopping coats and just beat it down with a rubber hammer. Seemed to work pretty decent. Couldn't really find a way to clamp the whole area down. There are more expensive products that I could have used, but I took the cheap route at 35.00 per gallon vs 170-210.00 per gallon.
EDIT. Now that it's been glued down a few days with the contact cement. Most of it seems to be holding, but there are a few small areas thAt are not holding good. Not sure if I would recommend it. Good enough for me, I see no bubbling or anything and I'll reshoot the loose areas with some liquid nails.
