A method of bonding a flexible substrate; e.g., vinyl, cloth, paper, etc., to a rigid wood substrate. The method comprises consolidating the two substrates through the medium of a curable adhesive composition consisting essentially of an aqueous emulsion of a butyl acrylate-methyl methacrylate-2-hydroxyethyl acrylate terpolymer adjusted to pH 9 to pH 10 with 2-amino-2-methyl-propanol, polypropylene glycol, an acrylamide-acrylic acid copolymer thickener, containing a dispersed polyisocyanate hardening agent. Decorative vinyl/wood laminates for use in mobile home construction can be advantageously prepared in this manner.
