I too use contact adhesive Steve and for the last few years only the gel, it's so easy to apply and no mess, I also have a number of sealed dowels for separating the laminate which I cut to rough size on the saw table or radial arm saw , depending on the size and finally trim with the router.

Just adding another two cents:

I'd also suggest that MDF Boards TOP and BOTTOM be laminated. Even at 3/4", MDF can be prone to warping and absorbing moisture (humidity).

Yellow glue to bond the boards together and Contact cement on both surfaces of the MDF and the laminate will do the trick nicely.

Good Luck and some pictures??

Pictures may be aways out there. I received and watched Series 1 of the "The Router Workshop" on DVD and can't wait until I get a dedicated router table made (very small) for the Oak Park spacers.

Router table is being put on hold until Po' Boy router table is done.

Thanks
