I don't fit the last criterion, but for "a" counter top I'd not even
consider the logistics of spraying contact cement -- by the time
you're set up and got it working, you'd be done w/ the roller, and
then you still have cleanup to go. Plus, unless you're building the
cabinet in the shop and have containment of overspray and mist, you've
got to cover everything else and mask the wall behind, etc., to
control the overspray. Just not worth the effort, imo.

What's the incentive to spray instead of roll other than a desire/
curiousity to do so?

I work in a shop building custom closets and we occasionally make tops
and we spray the contact cement with a pressurized bottle of glue and a
spray
gun, We use cardboard to collect the overspray, Have found it to be a good
solution
and not really a lot of waste, but it is expensive and I did not want to put
that
amount of money into something for using at home if a paint type spray gun
would work
