Best Latex to Latex Adhesive


I've been working on my suit today, and I need to do some modifications to make it fit me. Before I start cutting and glueing things, I thought i'd look to the experts so I dont permanently screw anything up. What adhesive is best for glueing Latex to Latex? And which is the best for glueing Latex to Neoprene? Will Bondini work for both, or is the something better? Thanks in advance!

Dave

Superglue for latex to latex. You will tear it apart getting it seperated so it is stronger than the latex itself.

Paul is right. The super glue actually sort of 'melts' or 'fuses' the two pieces together. Very strong.

Don't use super glue if you want it to be flexible. If you want it to be flexible, then either use Dap Weldwood Contact Cement, or use latex to bond latex to latex. When I make cape/cowl combos I attach the latex cowl to the latex cape with latex and it is a permanent bond.

Jants is right super glue, or Zap a Gap as I like to use, is not flexible but it doesn't really matter that much because it fractures in hundreds of places under the latex where the bond is but still holds perfect and the fractures allow for the flex. It is like a thousand little staples, once the fracturing happens but those little points of bond stay intact and you have to rip the latex to separate it.
