how do you attach thin strips (under 3/8") of UHMW to wood, metal, and laminates?

it seems too thin for screws. does contact cement work?

I was looking at a package of it at the Woodcraft store in Orlando, Florida. It was in a plastic bag and i was not able to clearly read the instructions, but i thought it said not to glue it.

I carefully applied a good grade of double stick tape.

Tesa 4970 double stick tape is the only thing I found to stick to Poly.

I use double side tape to locate then small flat head screws to hold them solid.
