  1. rubber cement

    Rubber cement is an adhesive made from elastic polymers, typically latex, mixed in a solvent such as acetone, hexane or heptane to keep them fluid enough to be used. It is often used in arts and crafts projects due to its strong bonding ability, flexibility, and the fact that excess glue can be easily rubbed away without damaging the surface.

  1. Rubber cement

    Rubber cement is an adhesive made from elastic polymers mixed in a solvent such as acetone, hexane, heptane or toluene to keep them fluid enough to be used. Water-based formulas, often stabilised by ammonia, are also available. This makes it part of the class of drying adhesives: as the solvents quickly evaporate, the "rubber" portion remains behind, forming a strong, yet flexible bond. Often a small percentage of alcohol is added to the mix. Alcohol does not pose a problem, but acetone—a solvent widely used in nail polish removers—does irreparable damage on polished surfaces and many plastics.
