Special-purpose cement excels for some purposes, unsuitable for others
By Mark Colan
Reading some reviews here, I see that some people make the mistake of assuming that any glue or cement should suit all purposes. In fact, most glues are best suited for specific purposes; that is why there are so many different kinds.

Rubber cement is unique in a few ways. It is not water based; that is evident as soon as you open the jar. It smells of an organic solvent. You don't want to breathe in a lot of that. Best to use it in a ventilated area.

In the name of the product is what it excels at: "no wrinkle". The solvent in it causes the cement to reduce in volume as it dries, that is, it shrinks, so it makes a snug fit.

It is especially well suited to gluing fairly flexible things - like paper or foil - to many other things, like paper, foil, plastic, wood, metal, etc. The solvent could be reactive to some things, making it unsuitable for some materials. Items glued down with rubber cement can often be peeled away even after t he glue has dried; the glue can usually be rubbed off. On some porous substances (some kinds of paper) the glue could soak in and change the color.

It may also be suited for fixing items together in a temporary fashion, in which case the glue can often be rubbed off. But when attached to rigid materials and especially when protected (e.g. covered with a laminate) it is reasonably permanent.

Because it is not water soluble, it might be handy for joining things that need to stay stuck while immersed in water.

It is used a lot by all kinds of crafts. I like to print templates or labels designed on the computer, then trim them with scissors or a paper cutter, then use rubber cement to attach it to metal, plastic, or wood. Then I take it down to the shop and use the printed guides to cut or drill. I can also overlay the result with clear laminate to have a permanent, protected and professional-looking panel, for example in electronics project s.

Rubber cement is not especially well suited to joining hard things to other hard things - materials like plastic, wood, metal, and so on - except for temporary purposes, in which case it can be very handy if you need to separate them later and remove the glue. For example, to cut sheet aluminum, I may glue plywood to both sides with rubber cement for more rigidity, cut it, then remove the plywood.

Last, chemical interactions with old-style (pre-digital) photographs could potentially fade the photographic image with time; this may apply to other kinds of printed material with time as well.

Try it, you'll like it!
By Brianna
I love this stuff and have been using it for paper crafting jobs for many many years for myself, and with the kids. Sometimes it's very hard to find, and when I can't find it, I'm lost without it. Thanks Amazon, for stocking it.
I think people don't know how good it is, and don't ask for it. Or are discouraged by the name rubber "cement". But it so safe and easy to use, it works on what you want pasted, and any excess applicaton will rub right off where it's not wanted, without any residue or stain. The Product description is absolutely true -- believe it. Do try this glue.

an old favorite
By sabby
It is so great having Elmer's glue in our house! We grew up with it, and missed it. Great for quickly brushing and glueing on pictures, assembling craft projects. Easy use applicator. Haven't found it in the stores. It has a really strong smell that doesn't bother us.
