Shotmarker Users / Coroplastic Backer Glue

We are using coroplast as a backer at my club… gluing targets on with 3M spray glue works however one must be exact with placing the paper on correctly. My question is… what glue should I use or do you use for gluing targets to coroplast? It need to hold up when it rains etc etc….
Thought bI’d take a shot here…..
 
I used Weldwood contact cement for the bedsheet on my NRA LR e target. Everything else I tried came loose eventually. Not sure about rain though. Regular target paste for the replacement centers.
 
we use a wall paper paste to glue the targets to the coroplast.

However we do not leave the targets up at night and don't shoot when it rains...
 
I have found no glue that doesnt come loose after a while, I started with 3m spray glue, and used gorilla packing tape around the edges on the full face so the wind couldnt get under it, then just regular wallpaper paste for the centers. what I have now is loose paper taped around the edges, the glue stopped sticking last season. I even sprayed the coroplast, and the paper target. looked really nice at first.
Also I found that the red vinyl tape they use for ram board floor protection sticks well to tape in a repair square of coroplast.
 
I use Elmer's white school glue (gallon size) for first target on corroplast and then use old-fashion wallpaper paste (made from corn starch and water) for repair centers.
