A couple comments:
Weldwood also makes another version of their contact cement which is a gel =
and id less likely to drip or spill. I've used it and it is just as good as=
the liquid stuff. I cleaned up excess contact cement with plain old paint =
thinner. Works well and doesn't seem to effect vinyl or leather dyes.
Re: flammability vs toxicity: Gasoline, especially as formulated currently =
has as many toxic effects as most contact adhesives. In addition the contac=
t adhesive containers carry a warning to users to turn off gas mains before=
using it. Of course both hazards are dependent on the amount of material b=
eing used and the concentration of solvents in the breating zone. A little=
common sense will serve to keep you safe from both factors. California leg=
islation is living proof that anything worth doing is worth over-doing.

I don't think flammability is the issue California has with some products; =
it's the volatile, highly toxic/carcinogenic solvents used in many of them.=
I can go a couple blocks down the street and buy as much of a highly flam=
mable--in fact, explosive--compound called 'gasoline' and put it in my vehi=
cles with no (unreasonable) restrictions.
Shame on California for trying to limit/reduce the amount of highly toxic/c=
arcinogenic chemicals in the air we all have to breathe. Shame shame sham=

If you look for Weldwood adhesive at the local hardware store, this type, w=

Can clean up with lacquer thinner.
