I have used this type of contact cement for my key covering  for some time,
but how can you possibly apply this glue efficiently to a full set of keys
with a little brush?  I use water-borne contact cement for my keysets but
apply it to both the key and coverings with a small disposable roller.  The
come with a plastic container that serves as a tray for loading the roller.
