I am a third gen master carpenter, been swinging a hammer for over 40 yrs now. I have used more than my share as well as quite a few others worth of contact cement. This type of glue should be more than adequate. Both sides need to be clean. Apply a coating of glue to each surface. Let it DRY! Then put both pieces together. Job done. If youre using clamps your doing something wrong. I would not use newspaper as a slip sheet it will tend to stick to the glue. Use a couple of pieces of wood dowels, instead. The main brand we used to use was Hybond 80nf, but its an industrial product. Not sure its even still made. I have used Weldwood from HD with great success, but I would prefer the Hybond if I given a choice between the two. We use the same type of glue when adhering EPDM (rubber) roofing only its industrial use as well and typically comes in a 5 gal. jug. IF you prep correctly and apply correctly the Weldwood should be more than good enough.
