Default Glue for HPL topped Martin bridge re-glue

I'm re-gluing a bridge on a HPL topped X series Martin. The top is HPL (some call it formica) and the bridge is Richlite. BTW I prefer to work on only the finest all solid wood guitars, but a guy's gotta make a living. Anyway... does anyone know what glue would have been used at the factory or an even better aftermarket glue? I was planning on Marine Epoxy, but thought I'd ask before gluing.

I posted a suggestion but just deleted it after reading the advice given to your same question posted on the UMGF.

Not sure... but if it were me, I'd probably use medium CA glue.
