I had great success using a solid core door as a bench top. It was 3'x7'and I was able to get a large and small bench top out of it. I wrapped the edges with hard wood and because it didn't cost me anything I feel free to drill any manner of dog holes or screw down jigs onto the surface.

Re: Gluing help please.
I would be tempted to use medium CA glue. This is from another forum to glue a bridge on a Formica top: use just enough CA to cover the bottom of the bridge so there will be minimal squeeze out. glue it like you would with regular clamps and wood glue making sure to clean off any squeez out with pap...
