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.



Superglue sticks many types of rubber fairly well. It's what is used for
split CV gaiters, and can also be used to make O rings in cases where
the geometry or other constrains mean that a continuous ring cannot be
fitted. This is done routinely in some types of rotating plant in power
stations.

Puncture repair outfits usually use "rubber solution" which is some type
of rubber dissolved in a solvent. The old fashioned contact adhesives
are similar. This would probably be the best way to make a lap joint
between sheets.

Commercial split CV gaiters have a "butt" joint, but get extra area by
having a ridge on one side and a matching groove on the other. I've just
used one successfully on an ATV which only does a couple of miles a
week. I've never risked them on a car.
McNett urethane flexible glue for permanent repairs on wetsuits etc. In
middle of repairing mine with it. Not cheap.
