Contact Cement - Dashes and Dashtops

The problem I have found with contact cement is, well, it sticks on
"contact" - and really only "first" contact. So, if you do not have it set
perfectly the first time, your "stuck." I guess with the dash it would
not be too hard to figure out where you want it to go and trace the shape
of the dash there so you have a really good idea where to lay it down.

I was very unhappy with the way contact cement worked for the dash top. I
still have small ends of wax paper pieces stuck under my dash top that
ripped off when I put it on and tried to pull out the paper. I am doing it
again for another Sunbeam. So, if anyone has any good ideas of how to grow
4 additional arms and hands so I can evenly press it all down at once,
please let me know! Is there a super heavy duty wax paper?
