I’m putting new lining on my 28 JD. Has anyone had experience using an adhesive instead of the brass rivets? Thanks!

I've been a great fan of Pliobond, Folks!
Its fuel reisistance has been remarkable.
But it is pliable. Think about that,.. in an emergency stop.
I will agree that using a solid, heat-transfering bond, even with rivets, should be an advantage, but it won't be anything rubbery. Rubber insulates and burns.
Let us all hope we shall actually put our repairs to a good 'try', soon.

There are several grades of pliobond. Hardware store is usually pliobond 35. It works fine for typical, dense linings and clean shoes.
Pliobond45 is a bit better for a lining adhesive. Higher temperature and stronger bond. It used to be available otc from aircraft supply, but I have not bought any in more than 10 years. I went from sintered sheets to woven linings and feel better riveting the woven material.
Don't get caught up on strength. Check out the sheer strength of brass 4/4 tubular rivets and you'll find it is similar to either pliobond.
Keep in mind our colleagues in the old car world have been tackling this question on band brakes for decades. Stopping a t takes a bit more oomph than a JD.

Let me put it this way, Scooterwrench!
I hope we all stay healthy.
