Typically most people would use contact cement for this. You apply the contact cement to both surfaces and wait for it to dry. Then you bond both surfaces together and get instant contact. Use wood blocks or anything that isnt coated in contact cement to keep the two mating surfaces apart while you press the peices together from the center while avoiding air pockets.
The list of materials does list contact cement. I'm not sure you can roll up Formica?
