rubber cement

Rubber cement is an adhesive made primarily from elastic-like rubber compounds suspended in a solvent. When applied, the solvent quickly evaporates, leaving a flexible, reusable bond between surfaces. It’s commonly used for crafts, paper projects, and light mounting because it provides a smooth, even layer and can be repositioned before drying. Unlike glues that form permanent bonds instantly, rubber cement allows for adjustments during assembly. Its easy cleanup with solvents makes it popular for temporary or delicate adhesion tasks, but it may not be suitable for heavy-duty or moisture-exposed applications.
