Any suggestions about adhesive?

Just do it.

Contact cement in a bottle used to be sold in stationery stores as
rubber cement.


Is that really the same thing? I never owned my own bottle of rubber
cement. It was something children whose family splurged on things had,
but somehow I remember it being more consistant or pleasant in
appearance.


See my other answer for the semantics. It all depends on what the meaning of
is is, but in common usage I guess you could say they differ in bond
strength and intended usage. Rubber cement might be what you're looking for
as a temporary low strength adhesive that's easy to remove.

Don't the cements for countertops use natural rubber and neoprene?

Slime rubber cement has a different intended usage and apparently a
higher bond strength than Elmer's.
