I use Evo-Stik Impact Adhesive which has changed its formula and no longer contains toluene, but it's still a pretty decent adhesive if a bit stringy in its new formula compared to the original formula.

I'm sure there are others that are better out there, but as I've got about a million 30g tubes of it, I've got to use them up before committing to using a different brand. The ideal contact adhesive should go on nice and thin, adhere well, not be stringy and easy to remove and clean up when you have to.

The worst contact adhesive I've tried (not through my own choice) was a water based 'environmental friendly' version of Evo-Stik back in the '90s which took aeons and a half to dry, the water content soaked right into paper or card and it stunk like a mix of rotten meat and cat wee-wee (similar to Copydex).
