Esty, I don't think there's a lot of difference in the upholster's
contact cement, I think it's just the viscosity.
The sprayable ones are thinner for spraying.
I believe you can use tolulene for thinning and get about
the same thing. There may be a couple of other ingredients to
help with flash time but basically they seem the same to me.
I have used the "Home Depot" brand you showed and it was
as good as any I've tried.

One thing to look out for if you are going to go with a general contact cement is its heat tolerance. Most are listed on the side of the cans and vary from product to product. Interior tempetures can get pretty hot and cause some contact cements to reflow.

So how much would I need to thin it out to spray through a gun. And what size tip should I use, 1-2mm?
