I have tried both the spray and the liquid (brush-on) contact cement and I believe that the liquid product works better. The spray-on stuff really is sticky but it doesn't appear to hold as well as the liquid on the long term. As Turk stated, it is very important to let the cement dry fully before mating the two sides together.

A solvent such as toluol works very well at cleaning up contact cement. One big problem with contact cement covered items is the fact that they immediately stick to each other and can be very difficult to separate. This tends to be a pain as you are trying to align one part and get close to the second glue covered part. A trick I learned many years ago is to separate the two parts with a piece of strong paper. Once you are happy with the alignment of the two parts, you simply remove the piece of paper and press the two parts together.
