Default Bonding rubber to rubber

No puncture kit glue did not use heating at all when I was young, but in
any case as has been said, where is the saving, by the time you have cleaned
up the surfaces in situ and worked out how to hold the surfaces together
while it sets, you could have changed it.

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.



well puncture repairs wouldn't work if there wasn't such a glue


They are usually heated, aren't they? And there's not much movement.


But really, why not replace the frigging gaiter?


It takes around 90 minutes to replace a gaiter currently. A wrap-around
one would take 5 minutes. Multiply that time saving by the number of FWD
cars in the world.
