Attaching neoprene to a fiberglass surface

A friend's neoprene patch on his board has come loose at one end. He has a Romanosky paipo board (fiberglass/foam). What should he use for reattaching -- is epoxy recommended?

It will work but it'll be stiff.
They are typically applied with contact cement. The good stinky stuff.
I use Barge Cement.

Contact cement as Uncle G suggests. Rod's idea is good as well.

Many thanks... I have passed along the info to Terry and also requested a pic of the board. No promises on that one unless he brings it to Costa Rica in the Spring.

Terry tells me that he and a buddy, Herb, used some spray on contact cement and it worked like a charm. He sends his hearty thanks and promises some pics once I shoot some in Costa Rica in April.
