We don't get Weldwood here in Canada, so my product of choice LePage Prestite Contact Cement.

I compared the MSDS of all 3 options, green, blue and gel:

http://d362101.pro64.promodem.com//uplo ... a5d85b.pdf
http://d362101.pro64.promodem.com//uplo ... 757576.pdf

I 'll spare you the time to go through them all, but my conclusion is:

Go Blue!! it has the highest concentration of 2-Butanone (whatever that is :o :roll: ).
Gel is still OK, but lower on the 2-Butanone.
The green une is useless, as non-toxic... :roll: :lol: ...

TGG!
