I like your desire to use lots of 3M adhesives, because that helps to insure the continuation of my pension checks.
Just for heads up, the cross linking (curing) of the contact adhesive is initiated by the elimination of oxygen (happens when you press the two substrates together). The strength of the bonding depends a lot on the initial pressure applied to the two substrates to be bonded together. That means, the more initial pressure you are able to apply, the better the stuff sticks together in the long run.
