Contact adhesive is the industry stander for gluing formica to drywall. Apply construction adhesive to the wall. Start along the top edge with a thick bead of adhesive and work downwards. Usually there should be two coats applied before sticking the mica because drywall is somewhat porous.

Before working with any kind of plastic be sure to put safety first. Hold the plastic up over the wall you want to cover and use a utility knife to cut around extrusion such as windows and pipes. Plastic adhesives release strong fumes while a small gluing job is low risk breathing these fumes for a long time can cause lightheadedness headaches and other complications. Wait 3 to 5 minutes for the polishing compound to set.

Apply a small amount of polishing compound to the plastic according to the label directions. When gluing plastics together always work in a well ventilated area. Apply the adhesive in short zigzags or waves.
