: Contact cement works really well on minicell; it produces a very
: permanent bond. Apply one coat to both surfaces, let it dry a
: bit past the tacky stage, then apply a second coat. Once the
: second coat is tacky, press the pieces together firmly, and
: they're bonded. Of course, with contact cement, you have to make
: sure everything is in position when you push it together,
: there's no readjusting. Also, if it's for a seat or padding that
: will be getting wet, you should use solvent based contact
: cement.

Do you have any recommendations for a specific product for bonding minicel to plywood for a seat back?
