We are looking for a strong waterproof adhesive (preferably one that can be
applied to damp surfaces) for sticking rubbery materials that will be in wet
conditions. (think of it as being similar to sticking rubber soles on
shoes ).

(ideally it will not be in a sealant tube, but preferably in a pot with a
lid). Thanks.

It would help if you just came out and told us what it's intended for
instead of giving obscure clues.

It probably requires you to prove your age before going any further!

wet before gluing, or afterwards?

If the latter, try a spirit based contact adhesive like evostik original.

don't think evostik would be any good if it is wet

Copydex ot any latex based might be better option .......... or thr
small tubes of paddling pool repair glue.

You think wrong:

"*spirit* based contact adhesive like evostik *original*"

Thats the stinky stuff you need to be 18 to buy.

No., that lets go when its wet.

Two part polyurethane adhesives have the best cure properties if you can
handle them without getting yourself glued to the job. Otherwise the
generic Evostick is probably about as good as it gets in a shed.

Just been fiddling about trying to put some stick-on soles on a pair of
ladies' boots. Good old Clarks, selling footwear that will send you
skidding over any tiled surface when wet, and I'm talking ice rink
slippery. I had a pair that did that many moons ago and I just binned them.
Anyway, the self adhesive they came with didn't work, nor did generic
contact adhesive, nor did hot melt. Super glue looks promising but
probably won't be flexible enough. Strange thing is that the hot melt
bonded pretty well to the shoe but not even slightly to the stick-on
sole. Yeah, I know about Shoe Goo, but I get the feeling these soles are
made from something weird (looks like crepe, and not smooth, but
absolutely bloody lethal)

The glue you used to be able to get from woolworths in small tubes for their
stick-a-soles used to be brilliant stuff.

But have not seen anything similar since. It said it was polyurethane on the
tube, and their seem to be a lot of adhesives about calling themselves
polyurethane now, but as far as i can see i dont think they are the same at
all.
