Quoting Removed, click Modern View to seeYou have to have a rubber cement designed for the job. Vulcanizing cement is just a rubber cement designed for a strong bond to rubber.

Rubber cement is a contact cement and not a specific material. Some, but not all brands will work on rubber.

You did say "school me". So having answered the question already, I will proceed to beat the dead horse.

Vulcanizing cement is a solvent based rubber contact cement formulated for rubber. It might not be as good for paper as Elmer's but I don't think Elmer's is good for rubber. Rubber cements can be formulated for different types of rubber such as neoprene or latex. You have to read the labels and hope the manufacturer describes it properly.

Without screening a lot of vulcanizing cement tds and sds, I can only say that the one vulcanizing cement I did look at was a latex rubber cement. It had nothing in it that would vulcanize i.e. crosslink the cement to the rubber. Vulcanized was the term coined by Goodyear in 1839 when he accidentally 'cured' the problem with latex by mixing it with sulfur and accidentally dropping it on a wood stove. One of three versions anyway. He was trying to cure the problem. He had no idea what his use of cure would come to mean chemically. It appears that the makers of vulcanizing cement have gone back to his level of understanding using the marketing term without regard to the chemistry.

Menards lists 4 rubber cements, only one of which, Weldwood Original Contact Cement is recommended for rubber on their sort menu. It is a neoprene base. The SDS for the NAPA vulcanizing cement says it contains natural rubber. Either one will work. Neither one will vulcanize anything.

Today's Featured Article - The Nuts and Bolts of Fasteners - Part 2 - by Curtis Von Fange. In our previous article we discussed capscrews, bolts, and nuts along with their relative hardness and thread sizes. In this segment we will finish up on our fasteners and then work with ways to keep them from loosening up in the field. Capscrews, bolts and nuts are not the only means of holding two parts together. When dealing with thinner metals like sheet tin, a long bolt and ... [Read Article]
