Is there a glue or some other way to bond sheet rubber to sheet rubber?
This is not as kinky as it sounds. The sort of rubber I'm thinking about
is the sort in CV joint gaiters, and the joint needs to be able to
withstand the stresses and movement a gaiter is normally subject to for
say 30-50k miles.

The first TV advert for super glue had a giant O-ring which a body-builder
used as a bungie strap to bounce on. He cut through it, bonded the cut
ends back together with super glue, and then bounced in it again.
It was pretty damn impressive at the time when we didn't have anywhere
near as many advanced glues available as we do nowadays.

(I looked on youtube for it, but couldn't find it.)


I remember that.

Do you remember all the jolly japes soon afterwards appearing in the
newspapers. People going to A&E with phone handsets stuck to their
hands, toilet sets bonded to their buns and so on?

It's surprising the modern prankster hasn't thought to try that -
possibly because noone uses public phones and public loos are a rarity.
