Re: "the alcohol never really evaporates"...

190 proof ethanol takes 328 seconds to reach 90% evaporation and is considered a Medium Evaporating solvent.

Toluene, which is what I usually see listed as the solvent on contact cement, takes 234 seconds to reach 90% evaporation. It fits into the range of a Medium Evaporating solvent.

200 proof ethanol (i.e., pure ethyl alcohol) is almost as fast as toluene at 278 seconds.

So I think "the alcohol never really evaporates" is probably not correct, especially for 200 proof.

Here are a few other common solvents to consider, in case you are less sensitive to them:
acetone (commonly used to remove nail polish) - 82 seconds
methyl ethyl ketone - 121 seconds
