Water Base Contact Cement

Sounds interesting. It dries water impervious? I hate all the nasty stuff with the fumes and such. I always feel like I just took a few minutes off my life when using things that require a 10 page label.

Bob, They told me that here in this area it is the standard. We sure like not having to breathe that stench. Of course it’s still just contact cement.

I don’t know about your product specifically, but I do know that 3M makes some very good adhesives. They spend lots of money and time in R&D. Because of that, and previous experience with other 3M products, I would be willing to bet you have some good stuff to work with.

Hi Tom;

We use 3-M water based spray contact often enough. Not certain of the product number, but we find it very useful.

Just don’t use it on wood veneer. I experimented with it, hoping to find a quick fix, but to no avail.

Works great initially, then the veneer self destructs, (numerous splits), over the next few days, as the moisture evaporates.

Used for the proper applications it’s great!

Lee, I’ve been using it on Flexwood which has the paper back. It seems to work pretty well for that. I haven’t tried it on real veneer. Probably won’t now. thanks. You saved me again. It really seems to hold on laminate.

Buck, That’s been my experience as well.

I’ve not tried contact cement since the last Formica job.
