Here is more detail about what kind of glue to use on formica. Firmly press the plastic and the other surface together. Epoxy is a thick and strongly cohesive glue meaning that you can build up the glue around the base of the plastic to help hold it in place. The glue should be applied with a sprayer paint roller or brush.

Hold the plastic up over the wall you want to cover and use a utility knife to cut around extrusion such as windows and pipes. Secure your plastic to the other surface with clamps. Place the first sheet against the back wall of the shower and set a level on top. Apply construction adhesive to the wall.

Hold it firmly against the concrete until the epoxy sets up. Apply the adhesive in short zigzags or waves. Using your brush completely coat the plastic sheeting and the other surface with contact cement. Usually there should be two coats applied before sticking the mica because drywall is somewhat porous.
