yes you MAY .. in fact feel free to ask away!!!
Yep a contact adhesive is best!, but remember, that the actual worktop will need more than one application before you can apply the end piece, so the first coat on the WT soaks in and seals the end!!
as for the actual " doing" of the job, contact adhesive is like its name suggests .. contact adhesive is applied to both parts required to be stuck together! ( remember the 2 coats upon the end of Worktops!!) and when the adhesive you have applied to both ends get "tacky" carefully apply the end piece to the worktop!, and press OUT froim the centre to each end!!, if you need too you can always apply a little masking /low tack tape over from top of WT to below, just to give it that support while final drying takes place!!
and as for trimming up of the end piece, i have a little gadget for doing mine, as well as final smoothing with 400g wet/dry!!!
