Best-Test Premium Paper Cement 32OZ Can

This is the real thing - rubber cement, just like we used in grade school. I remember in 5th grade, we all had desk with flip up lids with a compartment to store our books, papers etc. Inside at the front of the compartment was a pencil tray. Someone in our class started making a rubber ball by pouring some cement in their pencil tray, letting it dry, then rolling up into a ball. Pretty soon, most everyone in the class was pouring some cement in their pencil tray, and adding their rubber to the ball. We would go down to the school front office and get more cement. We'd just ask the secretary for another quart - they kept a big stock in a cabinet, and didn't realize we were all coming from the same class (things were more laid back then - it was the 60s!). We had a huge ball made - it was almost soccer ball size, as I remember. We would get it out when the teacher, Mr. McGee, left the class, and throw it around to each other. It was great fun! One day, someone missed a catch, and the ball bounced up to the front of the room just as Mr. McGee opened the door and came back in. OOPS! He picked up the ball, gave us one of those looks like we were all disgusting idiots! I don't rember what our punishment was, but we lost our ball. So this stuff is useful for more than just sticking stuff together.We probably all have brain damage from the fumes though.I do use it for sticking sandpaper to my disk sander (metal plate). It is quality stuff. It is the best way to attach sandpaper to anything - it can be removed easily if you have heavy backing on the sandpaper (cloth or heavy paper), yet it sticks well when you need it to. It is also excellent for gluing paper to paper or wood. I even use it to bond two pieces of plastic when I don't want a real strong bond - as in temporary gluing to keep parts aligned while drilling matching holes.

This is great rubber cement. I ship a lot of packages and I use rubber cement to glue the shipping labels on. I purchase it in this large quart size and then put it into a glass jar that has an adjustable brush, meaning that you can unscrew the nut on top and slide the brush up and down so that only the brush is in the rubber cement, not the entire shaft. It keeps it cleaner and it is easy to apply without big glops trying to drip from the brush shaft. Since I put it in the smaller bottle and only that small portion is exposed to the air when I use it, the rubber cement in the can stays nice and fresh and it doesn't get thick as rubber cement can do when it is old or exposed to air a lot. Best Test is the best and it is available at a great price here on Amazon.

If you hate gluing, like I used to, it's probably because you're missing one key item. Nothing is worse than working on a project that needs to finish nice and clean, and then getting glue all over everything. No amount of careful masking, or jaw clenching meticulous glue application can stop glue from getting somewhere it shouldn't.Enter the rubber cement pickup.Get a can of Best-Test and rubber cement pickup, and you can glue like a merry five year old, and still come out ok. Go ahead, slap more on there. Get it all over your fingers, all over the top of what you're gluing, all over the table. After you use a rubber cement pickup, you will not care one bit. Wet or dry, just gently dab the pickup over the excess glue, and it comes right up as if it was never there (takes a little longer wet, but the result is the same). As the label on the Best-Test can promises, there were be no warping or staining. I've done this with Color-Aid cards, tracing paper, printer paper, magazine paper, bristol board, illutration board, and the result is always the same.I went from hating rubber cement with burning passion, to going through cans of the stuff in a matter of weeks. All you need is Best-Test and a Rubber Cement Pickup, I guarantee you will have an easier time with gluing in your projects.

Understanding the pluses of rubber cement, one must also acknowledge the danger of breathing it in. Proper ventilation is required.

used for BP monitor among other things -- channel changers -- clock etc --They seem to hold the REcharge well

This is my glue of choice for all paper projects. I use a roller to smooth out the paper after application.which works perfectly. The glue residue is easily picked up with a glue ball or your own hands. This glue dries beautifully with no wrinkles.

It's the same stuff I used in art school, although now our son is using it for assembling boxes he uses for entomology research. Trusted it fifty years ago, still trust it now.

It says on the can to have good ventilation but regardless of good ventilation I get horrible headaches for days. I even tried outside. wore a mask. and still got sick from this stuff. oh well....
