As far as glue, I guess I will be the contrary opinion. Our local cabinet supplier sells all three major brands of laminate. Anything you want is just a day away from the distributor, and you don't need to buy full sheets. Thinner edging (2" wide?) suitable for curves is available. I'm not even sure they sell solvent based contact cement anymore due to VOC laws in commercial work. I used Wilsonart water based glue IIRC (available clear and green) and had no problems. Did 8 large desktops with curved corners for work, 12 years later they are still going strong. Several projects since then, too. Helped my dad do a number of tables for the office coffee room when I was 14, (I'm now 69). Working in our basement, spilled a gallon of the old style contact cement. Quite a high time cleaning it up. Cabinet supplier sells and recommends a disposable pad style applicator to spread the glue after pouring it on the surface, they work great, clean up with water if you catch it before it starts to tack is real nice.
