This is what I use as it was suggested here: Aleene's Quick Dry Tacky Glue 8oz https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001145496/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apap_rq8W2KUeR31EB

You don't need the quick dry and some people suggest not using the quick dry because without it it gives you more time to fix mistakes or reposition pieces. That's probably true and I have made a few mistakes that I'm sure would look better and been easier to fix if I wasn't using the quick dry but I do like the speed.

I use a basic Stanley retractable knife with a [50 pack of their blades] (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000NID9X4/). I've made 2 inserts and the blade just now needed to be flipped to the other side.

I've found that having a good heavy duty cutting straightedge helps a lot here since I essentially steer the blade into it, which is what keeps my lines straight. Look into the Alumicutter.

I use Olfa craft knives and blades, I use the super sharp blades. 50 pack, 13 segments per blade, they last for quite a while.

That's 9mm, I just picked up an 18mm version as well for my next attempt. The 9mm blade can get a little wobbly on long cuts.

Aluminum is softer than steel and you are likely to scrape some off every cut, making the edge untrue after a while (but not as quickly as plastic of course)

I would recommend stainless steel with a non-slip cork back, about 18" in length, with both inches and centimeters. Example

The T-square will be good to get straight cuts. They come in steel too, but are more expensive. I guess if it's only used occasionally, and carefully, the aluminum model might be fine.

I've used a carpenter's square like this for a while now. Alone for shorter cuts, and as a square guide with a cork backed metal ruler for longer runs. As its a heavy chunk of steel it doesn't slide much.
