Contact cement has a point in time where it makes it's best bond: real tacky but no slimy pull-off. This point in time will vary if dissimilar surfaces have different drying characteristics, so many times it is best to seal the surface of ea material with one or two coats of contact cement before appling the bonding coat. This will equalize the drying rates and provide a better bond. Mike, who worked in a thong factory in Santa Barbara gluing soles with contact cement ...and carpenters and carpeters are sometimes hurt by the fumes as it kills blood cells... red I think. From: "Bob Volin" <bobvolin_at_bestweb.net> Dave, I used the solvent-based version of Weldwood Contact Cement, but it never occurred to me to prepare the nylon backing as you describe here. I'll do that next time, and thanks.
