Default a better Glue than 3M spray adhesive?

Anybody every use a contact adhesive that bonds as good or maybe better than 3M spray? I have been using 3M stuff for years & it generally works fairly well, but I Want to bond something where I need a little more working time & would also like to brush it on from a can so I don't; have to mask everything off. Anything better out there? Maybe a type of flooring adhesive?

3M makes a high performance brush on contact adhesive. https://www.amazon.com/3M-Neoprene-P.../dp/B000WXL202

DAP Weldwood Cement is what I use if I don't plan to take it apart again. MUCH better adhesion than any 3M product I've used.

Formica Glue also works. You can buy it in a can. I think the working time is the same. You can also just apply to one side

Dap Weldwood Cement has high heat resistance. I plan to use it to glue a fabric cover on top of my rear gift tray. I think it would be perfect for this application since the gift tray is exposed to the hot summer sun.

Dap Weldwood Cement is the best.

Its what you want to use if doing headliner or convertible top. In my case I used it to recover my dash on my 64.

Another vote for the DAP ... when it's stuck ... it's stuck.
