Hi,
Does anyone know a reliable way to glue/cement rubber?
I know there is one Loctite product (name / number?) that is often used for making O-rings on the fly. Does that also work for larger surfaces?
Any other suggestions are also welcome.
Regards
Soren

Loctite is just some icky gooey stuff that you smear on the threads of a bolt or the likes that hardens to keep it from coming unscrewed, though I suppose it could be used instead of PTFE tape on small fittings.
Do not look back, and grieve over the past, for it is gone;
Do not be troubled about the future, for it has not yet come;
Live life in the present, and make it so beautiful that it will be worth remembering.

I'm not sure if contact cement is the same as rubber cement, but I used contact cement to attach the sealing face to the piston for my "marshmallow" gun.

To cement rubber, one would use rubber cement, haha.

Hi,
OK, rubber cement; that sound plausible, haha. Problem is, I see all kinds of Loctite etc. products where I get my pneumatic parts, but nothing called rubber cement. OK I will ask.
Thanks for the answers.

Actually certain types of cynocrylate(aka super glue) will work(depends largely on whether or not you buy the gel or liquid types). I know in the US Elmers glues makes a super glue especially for rubbers and vinyls. Super glue should be at any general store.
For heavy duty stuff go to a marine parts supplier. They should have a large supply of different adhesives. You name it, you can get a glue for it.
