Default headliner glue?

I'm getting my headliner and plastic board from National Parts Depot tomorrow. It says on the site to use 3M 8080 spray adhesive and not 8090 because its too strong and can melt the plastic board. I've heard that the 3M adhesive doesn't last that long and to use landau top and trim adhesive but I don't know if its too strong either. What adhesive should I use?

The dome light holds the board on, not glue.

3m spray glue holds up pretty well. I used to work in a custom shop and thats all we used and i never saw that glue not hold. we used super 88

3M 8080 is the preferred choice and also manufacturers recomendation. Do not glue the board up. It is held in place by dome light, visor mounts, front and rear interior trim.
Hint; spray the glue on and apply the cloth a little bit at a time as you move from front to back. An extra set of hands is a big help also.
