==Types of Glues for Latex==
+
Two basic types of glue are usually used:
+
 
+
'''1)  Organic solvent based'''
+
 
+
Various rubber cements can be used to glue sheets of latex together.  Some brands are:
+
 
+
* Best Test Rubber Cement
+
* Bostik 3851
+
* Elmer's Rubber Cement
+
* Ross Rubber Cement
+
* Rema TipTop vulcanising solution
+
 
+
Rubber cements are usually thinned with heptane, a.k.a.  Rubber Cement Thinner, which is used to prepare surfaces for gluing with the cement. (Bostik 6009 type 4 cleaner/thinners)
+
 
+
'''2)  Water and ammonia based'''
+
 
+
Some brands are:
+
 
+
* Copydex
+
* Bostik Aquagrip 260 (now replaced by 218M Plustex)
+
* Blackstyle latexkleber
+
 
+
Bonds made with water/ammonia glues are said to deteriorate when exposed to water, although some people say the bonds are just as long-lasting as those made with organic solvent glues.
+
 
+
==Gluing Technique==
+
 
+
A good way to apply the glue to a latex sheet is to use a credit card and spread it out on both surfaces.  Let it dry for about 15 minutes and then attach the two surfaces together.  Go over the seam with a roller and it will finish the seam.  Wait for the seam to cure for 24 hours before putting stress on the glued area.
