Depends on what you're trying to glue together. There are a few 
different 3M products that I've used with good results. One of them is 
meant especially for high temperature locations and is recommended for 
headliners and engine soundproofing material. I've also used regular 
brush-on contact cement for things like door panels. All of them work 
pretty well if you follow their directions, which usually call for 
coating both surfaces and allowing them to dry for a while before 
assembly. There are some types of flexible vinyl need a special 
adhesive to stick well -- I'm still researching this for my floormat 
project.

I wonder if high outside temperatures affect the hold of contact 
cement? If the weather in San Diego is any thing like it is now in LA 
that could be a factor.
