How to tell it’s rubber
Bends and springs back, and a fingernail leaves a mark that slowly fades. Smells faintly of a tire shop.
Character
What it’s like to glue
Flexible and slightly oily — it needs a bond that flexes with it, plus a quick scuff so the glue has something to grip.
Alternatives
Other glues that work on rubber
AvoidEpoxy — it cures rock-hard and pops off the first time the rubber flexes.
