I would say that would be fine.
I think they use neat pva or contact glue or even clear silicone.I used Evostic contact glue on mine as I had a tin open.
I was fitting the laminate on the end of work top.

silicon sealant (go for anti fungal) works too. run a thick bead around the cut surface, then use a flexible scraper to fully cover the areas.

pva is water based so probably there are better products

hope this helps

I've always used silicone sealant. As mentioned above smear it over all the "open grain" of the work top and then put a bead around the top of the opening before seating your sink unit in. I've never had any problems doing it this way.
Makesure that all the "open grain" is covered, because you'll have seen how your weatabix goes when you've poured your milk on...

silicon, nice big bead all round and rub it in with your finger.
