Q: If the glue gets on your hands how do you get it off?
submitted by Mrs Paul - 2 years ago
A: You can use nail polish remover to remove rubber cement from your hands.
submitted by - 2 years ago
A: Once it starts to dry slightly, it begins to develop a “rubbery” film-like texture on your skin. Simply rub your hands/fingers together until the glue starts to pill/ball up. From that point; You can easily brush/wipe it away from your skin into trash and wash hands as usual.

Q: Can rubber cement be used for temporary purposes and be completely removed without harming the paper product
submitted by Elle - 2 years ago
A: I believe you will have better luck using hot glue if your item is paper. Rubber cement is flexible but would be harder to get apart from paper because it's flexible.
submitted byPiney Girl Artworks - 2 years ago
A: As long as you do NOT apply the rubber cement to both sides of what you are gluing together; You can actually use a hard eraser on DRY rubber cement (gently) to remove. A white art eraser (used for sketching) works well & does not leave pink eraser streaks on light paper. Just use caution when using this technique on thin paper and always try to hold paper surface taut & still.

Q: Does it work on wood??
submitted by Kain - 1 year ago
A: Hello!
Thank you for your question. In response to your inquiry, our Elmer's 4oz Rubber Cement Adhesive with Brush Applicator is designed for adhering photos and intricate cut and paste projects, providing a reliable bond for detailed work.
While it can permanently bond lightweight materials to wood (e.g., photos or paper), it is not recommended for structural wood-to-wood connections (e.g., furniture repair). In such cases, Elmer's Carpenter's Wood Glue is a much better choice.

Good glue for crafters
This is my third bottle of this glue, the only thing I don’t like is I wished the bristles were a bit softer. I used it on paper, sponges, fabric and embellishments

Always a great craft staple to have on hand. We prefer this over traditional white glue. The brush makes application very easy and convenient.

Very disappointed
Does not work on plastic pieces (repairing a blind). Previously used Weldwood contact glue which worked great, but I guess Target doesn’t carry that any more.

Best Glue for Big Projects
This is the best glue for extensive projects, especially those with small pieces. You can rub off excess glue once it dries a bit.

Great quality and flexible glue!
I used to use rubber cement as a child in school, but I haven’t had to buy it for my own children until recently. The binding of a reader book completely came undone after the first use and my son was pretty disappointed. I ordered this glue because I remember it being flexible and easy to use. I applied it to the edge of the pages that fell out as well as the binding cover page and let it sit together for about a day. When I came back, everything was held together and even with some pulling back of the pages, it held together really well! It doesn’t crack like a lot of glues and it’s very easy to remove by simply rubbing away at the adhesive. This is still a really great quality glue as it seems they haven’t changed the ingredients since I was a kid, which is pretty unheard of! I’m very happy with the results!
