Flyguy:
For a constrained system to work properly, the center material
(in this case C1002-06) needs to be fully bonded on both sides
to the wood surfaces.
In a constrained damping system, resonant energy is dissipated
by shearing forces set up in the 3 layer sandwich when the system
flexes. These forces are concentrated in the center layer (C-1002).
In an ideal application, a high quality 2 part epoxy can be great
to cement the 3 layers together, as epoxy is very hard, and it will
"drop out" of the dynamics of the constrained system. But in my
lab experience, epoxy may not have great adhesion (or a long life?)
as an adhesive for C1002. Contact adhesives, while not being as
hard as epoxy, stick MUCH better to C1002, and will still work well
in thin layers.
The Bostick adhesive in your link is likely very good as a one part
adhesive. My experience with Bostick adhesives is that they are
VERY good. Another route might be to try a 3M spray contact adhesive,
which would be a bit less messy, and perhaps make it easier to get
even coats. 3M Hi-Strength 90 Spray Adhesive.
