You mean the laminate type strips to hide the chipboard edges?

Proper solvent based impact adhesive like EvoStick. Spread glue on both
sides, and leave for 15 mins or so until touch dry, then bring the two
parts together (accurately - no second chances!) and press on firmly.

Can you still get Thixofix? That *does/did* allow a b it of adjustment
before finally grabbing.
Some of these strips are purposely a bit too wide, to allow for trimming
flush. Inital positioning is then a bit less critical.

Yes, that is correct!

serious glue is pretty impressive. 3 minutes for adjustment then sticks
like s**t. Remains flexible in thick layers.

I always use PVA white glue now. I was very sceptical when I first read
about it. If the end strips are well compressed by a batten using some
sort of clamping, it works a treat and gives you a chance exactly to
move the strip into the correct position. Once hard it trims very
cleanly. The oldest has been in place for four years in a non-dry area
in a kitchen.

Would Evostick not work properly (ie make such a strong bond) if one put the
two pieces together well before the fifteen minutes and then clamp it
together? That way you could move things about so they were exactly in the
right position.
John Rumm
It would probably make an adequate bond. However the point of the stuff
is to save needing clamps etc. (most of these strips are over wide
anyway and need trimming to fit once the glue is dry - with impact
adhesive used right, you can move to the trimming phase almost immediately)
