Never thought about that before. You could get a 32x8 inch sheet for 5bucks at a skateshop, thats more than enough for a build

I would think that the adhesive would just heat up and fail.

The tried and true methods are hir-spray, paint, beaded ends, and T-bolt clamps.

No need to reinvent the wheel.
