I used spray carpet adhesive to good effect, along with contact adhesive. You can use PVA to glue the 'field' which will give you time to adjust the tolex but I'd always recommend contact adhesive for the edges unless you've lots of clamps, batons and patience!

I always use PVA wood glue, with some small squares of thin wood and clamps to hold everything in place. It's worked well enough for me so far :)

I used Copydex after it was recommended to me by the ladies in the fabric shop. Worked a treat but its not cheap.

Its not cheap by the tube, but i cottoned on to Copydex many moons ago for textile gluing, and bought a tub of the stuff. Still got half of it - its great stuff and like Bill Fitz says, you have some time / leeway with this gear as well, to correct a mistake, whereas with contact stuff, you're pretty stuffed if you get it wrong
