well, here's a tip from installing plastic laminate with contact cement:

get a bunch of dowel rods and lay them on the surface to which you wish to apply the overlay.

place the overlay on the dowel rods and position it. then you can remove the rods one by one and affix the overlay.

maybe someone can clarify if the adhesive on an overlay is pressure activated?

here's another tact you could take:

suppose you have 2 buttons on the CP. assuming they are 1 1/8", you could take 2ea. 1 1/8 inch dowel rods and stick them in the holes, and then use those two rods to guide the sucker into place.
