Since you live in SF where it doesn't get hot, you're probably safe, but
off the shelf contact cements get gooey in the heat. I used Neoprene
cement purchaced at an auto trim supply in LA, and it held fine till my
move to Texas, it has since started letting go (bear in mind though, this
is 10 years later. I've reglued the offending pieces with 3M NF-30
fastbond cement. It is water dispersed, and is in a very low hazard
class. This is a bit of an experiment, check back with me in a few
years. I did see some tests done with this glue at an effects shop I
worked in in LA. They glued various materials (rubber, foam, fabric) and
after curing soaked some samples in water for a week, left other samples
in the foam curing oven for a week (240 deg f.) The stuff held even when
hot. Let's see how the roadster test-bed does.
