In the US, the best Rubber Cement I’ve found is called Best-Test. It is available at many art supply stores, and several places online. http://www.dickblick.com/products/best-test-rubber-cement/#photos

I wonder if elmer’s works as well.

Hello everybody. After searching on google with no good result, I have decided to come here and ask. How do you deal with the cemment/glue spots from the clothing your are making? How do you remove all those messy spots? I tried with the mirela spirit but it doesnt work. Is there any special product that does this? I read other person here that have the same problem as I do with the rubber curling to itself and because of that not only the piece of clothing gets so messy but my fingers too. It can be a real pain. Any suggestions? Thank you very much.

Hi Latex Kitty,

In one of your replies, you mentionned that :
“Copydex contains Water, Ammonium Hydroxide and Natural Rubber Solids, which are the compounds required! After reading that, Copydex seems to be fine gluing the latex together. It is a pitty that it doesnt exactly say how many % of each compound it contains.”

I went myself to my nearest art store and when I saw the number of different rubber cement ( at least 3 kinds with solvent and the same number without solvent ), I thought it could be good to ask : for the solvent based glues, what minimal % of each compound should I look for ?

Thanks in advance

Cheers
T.O.

I was wondering if I were to go out to say home depot, what would be your best suggestion for a rubber cement?

@Niki Hello,
I seem to experience the same bonding problem. I took a closer look at garments I bought and seems are reinforced with a thiner strip of rubber at the edges. Pieces glued on as ornaments and where one can find an edge can be pulled apart with ease.
Suggestion I received: direction you smear the glue (with the tension not against), degreasing the latex with a degreasing agent and time you leave the glue to dry before putting the seems together.
NOTE:I am no expert and not a garment maker, I wanted to do some repairs to garments and add a few extra detail to others. I will do a few tests.

@Mikey: Use some masking tape to keep the latex from curling back on itself.
