I would agree that brush applied contact cement will be neater. I would
recommend against using Home Depot type contact adhesive unless you live
in Northern Europe like Thomas or Chris. The widely available weldwood
type contact cement lets go in the heat. In fact it's fairly easy to
debond pieces with a regular hair-dryer. Look into trim shop and
upholstery supplies for a neoprene or similar adhesive made for
automotive purposes. I've been using a 3M product (fastbond 30NF) It is
a water-based contact cement, but outsticks any solvent based glue I've
used. We tested it at ADI, an effects shop where i worked, with heat
(250deg oven) and water (soaking in a bucket overnight after curing. and
it held on great! You'll need to find a 3M distributor.
