Contact Cement in a spray can?

[BackwoodsJoe]

I was looking at contact cement in the local Home Depot and noticed three different types of contact cement in the spray can. Anyone tried these products? I've been using the water based Dap brand (applied with a brush) and I'm ready to try something else. THX, joe

I used 3M 77 spray adhesive to cover my 2x12 speaker cab with vinyl. Worked OK, but hard to clean up the over spray and you have to work pretty quick.

I'll second shardin's post. The 3M stuff works well but you have to work fast and overspray is a factor. I'm still a fan of the good old solvent based contact cement as I've learned how to use it well and it seems to hold like nothing else.

I like to use Weldwood Solvent based cement. The Gel works Ok but I like the older formula the best.

Thanks for the input Guys, I think I'll try the Dap solvent (red & white can) again. joe

i don't use the 3M 77 adhesive.It does not harden and the tolex eventually lifts.The water based contact cement works the best,it just takes a long time to dry.
I have used spray on contact cement and it does work but you end up using a lot of it and the nozzle clogs easily so it's hard to get an even coat.Brush and roller is still the best unless you have a spray booth and like cleaning tips a lot.
