Wood Trim Glue Recommendation?
#1

The wood veneer has separated from the metal backing on my center console trim. I have removed the assembly, and it looks like the veneer is simply glued on to the backplate.
Does anyone have experience with gluing these trim pieces onto the metal backing, and can recommend the type of glue to use to get a long-lasting result?

I carefully cleaned off the old glue from the metal backing with lacquer thinner, and used plain old contact cement, I believe weldwood contact cement:

follow the directions. smooth, even coat on both pieces, let solvent flash off, and carefully (you won't get a second chance, so start at either end with lining up the edges) mate the two and work from one end to the other.
