Which adhesive is it?  IIRC, 3M markets a spectrum of adhesives of this type. 
The Weldwood product I mentioned is a polyisocyanate, and would adapt to a
spraycan delivery system.

Might mention that I have also used a spray mount adhesive from Duro (a
division of Loctite; adhesive MS-H 81088) which is designed for either
temporary or permanent mounting of paper onto cardboard (etc.), but is good for
low-stress applications.  The can I have dates back to 1992, so they may have
changed the formulation.  It is not as strong as the Weldwood Contact Cement,
and I do not believe it is a polyisocyanate.  (Can does not say.)
