Any good alternatives to Weldwood contact cement?

@John, best thing for him to do is search his suppliers for Non Solvent Based Contact Cement for Faom and Fabric. They do not spray like Dap Weld Wood but the tack is good and set time is typically a bit shorter so not as much room for Error.
LionGrip (LePage) and Helmitin 4510 are the go to adhesives for me.

Thank you for the insight. I will go ask of it.

one adhesive I have seen in town is Kenda Oil by KendaFarben. Think it's made in Italy.
I don't know a lot yet so doing extensive research on it.

Birdsong is good, and it was made to go under foam, it doesn't need air to cure. It's made in the states, try google and see if you can find it. I bought it by the drum when I was busy, it works just like weldwood, but weld wood won't work under rubber padding.
