I have seen products used on a couple of the DIY shows but they don't show the brands. 3M makes several (77, 80, and 90) that they say are high tac. The only one I have found that is put out as a contact cement is WA 700A, made by Wilsonart, but I can't find it in any local stores. Anyone seen this stuff on the shelf?

Spray grade contact cement is not really an off the shelf item in retail stores, for many reasons. I have never bought it from any place other than "industrial supply" type distributors. I have sprayed brush grade solvent based in a cup thinned with lacquer thinner, with good results. Just make sure you clean gun as soon as you're done. If you have to have spray grade, you might try upholstery suppliers, or any cabinet shop suppliers, that sell mica.

Spray adhesives can be found in most art supply and craft stores. I haven't used this stuff in years, preferring 3M PMA (sheet Positionable Mounting Adhesive). As I recall, spraying on one surface provides a good tack that is fairly easy to move, and for a stiffer contact we would spray it on both surfaces, let it dry somewhat and then "contact".
As I recall, this stuff wasn't very good for the lungs and proper ventilation and protection was an absolute must! Hopefully today's formulations are better.
I hope this helps,
