duck tape will work well if you first use a foam/fabric spray adhesive
sprayed on the board and allowed to air dry for a minute or so. It is
basically contact cement, so that would also work.
Urethane would also work, but be prepared for it to soak in like
mad, the edges are very porous. Two or three coats will probably be
needed.
