I haven't mounted donuts since the early-mid '90's myself

I know methods differ, but just double checking again, coat the wheel with contact cement, dry, dunk wheel in acetone [to lightly reactivate the glue] and slide it together, done?

I never had any problems with good adhesion coating the wheel with shoe goo and putting everything together, but a cleaner method that works well is good info too.

Especially since it's been long enough since I mounted donuts [and don't remember exactly how messy/PITA it is] that I'm getting ready to start mounting them again for experimentation.
