I used the laminate glue and a a trowel. I spread it all over then rolled the laminate out. I took a scrap 2x4 wrapped in an old shirt an smoothed it all out. Then I came back in about twenty minutes and resmoothed whatever was bubbling up.
After it dried completely I took a razor blade and cleaned up the edges.
I would "loose lay" it...just cut it to fit and run some quarter round around the perimeter to hold in place. Make it real easy if you ever need to pull it out and replace.
