Which glue to stick worktop edging?

I have a "Lunar night" worktop from Homebase, and I need to fix the edging strip to it. The edging comes on a roll.
Which glue should I use, because I have a few at home including Araldite and EvoStick (which is in a black tube and is supposed to glue anything)?
Should I Unibond the edge first or just glue the edging straight on?
I know that I will have to use a file/abrasive paper after to get a fine finish.
Cheers.

Contact adhesive. PVA won't help adhesion one iota.

Worktop edging tape is good. I find it better than the glue and gives a more solid feeling finish. Less mess too. Just stick it on, secure the edging and file it down.:)0

Evo stick, dont worry about perfect cut edges as you can sand them smooth when its dry.0
