Moreover, can you thin rubber cement with acetone?
Also, how do you revive contact cement? ANSWER: If the contact cement is not too old, it may be reactivated by heating the area with a gun-type hair dryer. You need a temperature of about 200 F on the surface of the Formica to reactivate the cement.
Most contact cement manufacturers recommend using a commercial brand of thinner to thin contact adhesive because these thinners are fairly easy to use, but most contact cement manufacturers offer cement thinners of the same brand name. [links]
Acetone is a non-toxic substance that can be used to effectively thin out the rubber cement and prevent it from hardening and clumping. If you have a new bottle of rubber cement, you'll have to dump out about 1/8 of the rubber cement. Pour a few teaspoons of acetone directly into the rubber cement bottle.

You can remove the large strips of dried contact cement by pulling it from the area using your fingers or better yet, with a pair of pliers. Although this method seems to be crude, it is a good start. If you have a hard time starting out, use a hair dryer or heat gun to melt the cement a little before you start.
Step 2 - Use Solvents
You can use mineral spirits or acetone to remove stubborn contact cement residues on hard surfaces. All you have to do is soak a sponge with one of these chemicals, let it sit on top of the adhesive, and allow it to work for one hour. This method will soften the contact cement, making it easier to scrape off or wipe away. [links]
