Iam working for one latex designer in Czech Republic, we are using "rema vulc" its basic tire glue and it works quite well. Eurocatsuit stuff is expensive as hell.
About "tire glue" I only have terrible memories due to the poisonous benzol fumes. In my youth I patched my bicycle inntertube, and the vapour made me sick with very bad migraine and my sweatshirt stank half a year of that obnoxious stuff despite wash. Nowadays I only use Copydex non-toxic rubber cement and some isopropanol as solvent.
Not a “very suspicious consistency “ lol But bro I’m glad you doing this bc I’ve been using elmers rubber cement and an old gift card for my small things but I assume if I wanted to get anything like my favorite brand invincible rubber I should be using this
You're pouring the cans the wrong way... Pour it with the spout on the higher side so you don't flood the hole causing the glugs and splashing that happens when air forces its way in. When you pour it with the spout on top it doesn't immediately flood the spout like the other way does
I've used the plain best test rubber cement you can find in any arts and crafts store to patch holes, and haven't had a problem. I suppose it's going to be a different thing if you're actually making something.
So I've used bestest cement and thinner for years now. Couldn't get bostik at the time and latex retailers weren't selling their glue. I've also bought cement and thinner from blackstyle and was happy with that. Honestly I mixed my cement to match the consistency to the blackstyle cement. When making this video, did you happen to compare the consistency of the cement from eurocatsuits? Did you have any left to compare to? Although I do have a cement tonwork with, I think I'm going to try and get my hands on a sample of the bostik country out. See if there any differences. Thanks for the informative video. on a side note, my cement is mixed probably closer to 60/40 than your 65/35. Still works. Just have to be diligent on getting the silicone off the latex before repairs. Also, mineral spirits seems to work well cor prepping latex before gluing, at least for me.
Recently bought Elmer's Rubber Cement, I see it already contains heptane, been testing it with ballons so I don't make ny mess with my rubber gear. Seems that it curls a lot but I'm gonna investigate if there's another glue that may help reduce the heptane ratio.
I interpreted the picture you posted at 1:42 as being 15-25% more solvent than the cement, as in 125 solvent for every 100 cement, or a ratio of 55/45 with more solvent. But your results seem to point the complete opposite way lol, I just didn't want to waste the math and comment done, woops.
Hello! first I would like to thank you for your video. I live in Brazil and here I can't find glue to stick my latex clothes on. could you give a list of chemical materials that exist around the world, or here in Brazil? Or that they can be replaced? thankful
@@whiteoutrubber An N95 mask protects against particulates but won't protect you from volatile chemicals. I recommend that you take a look at the Material Data Safety Sheet (MSDS) for Best Test Thinner (cdn.dick-blick.com/msds/DBH_SDS_23712XXXX.pdf). I am not sure what the best mask is for that purpose but the 3M website is pretty helpful for determining that. At the very least, use in a well-ventilated area and keep the container capped as much as you can. It evaporates quickly and can give you a nasty headache. You may not notice it but it's not doing your lungs any favors either. That said I've been using it for years and have found 90/10 to 80/20 works well,
@@whiteoutrubber I solely use isopropanol as solvent and Copydex non-toxic rubber cement. Important is that both sides need to dry (turn transparent) before pressing together, and seams can not be corrected. If glue really won't stick (or e.g. needs more waterproofnes) I use a bit of acetone as a stronger solvent (curls much, so use paper adhesive tape to stabilize).
Dear Whiteout I am with you from begging.bi also asked you personally how to fix rubber yourself. I follod but in the end unsuccessful. Please can I call you or do life training for everyone. Whiteout you are my best and only who I love.
Dear whiteout, My first and favorite piece of latex shirt sleeve is coming apart from the seam. Please tell me there is a solution because Regulation doesn’t make it anymore and I really don’t want to let it go, so many great memories from it😭😭😭😭 Sincerely, TRDH

When you glue 2 pieces together and need to readjust, you can easily peel it right away. The longer you wait the more difficult it becomes, but still doable. Depends of the glue and solvent percentage. If you use a roller and press on the seams, consider it glued forever.

I have used "tire glue" for years to repair items. However you have to work fast: tire glue tends to curl the rubber garment.
@@VictorianMaid99 You have to wait minute or two after the application of the glue. It will uncurl itself and then you put it together.
@@Lipton199333 that is easy, I will try that on some test rubber. If this works I can fix some more complex items I have been waiting on.

I couldn’t wait to get into my latex the first time. Love it. Love watching my wife squeeze into hers. I’m lucky.

Have to admit that I like the suit. I've never tried one on but would like to.
Very usefull information, thanks pup! just working on a suit myself

I’ve been using mineral spirit to clean my seams but it hasn’t mixed well to thin the rubber. Just ordered heptane.
I stopped using mineral spirits because it would leave an oily residue
So HELPFUL!!
Quick question though: What is the best respirator to use when working with the glue and thinners? Do you have a favorite?
Any of the n95 masks should be good enough. More importantly is having a window open you you have some ventilation.
@@whiteoutrubber An N95 mask protects against particulates but won't protect you from volatile chemicals.

How often do you wear latex? Do you have any recommendations for everyday use? Your information is very useful. Thank you.
Opouoo
I found that bicycle tire glue works great
Really! I need to try it
@@VictorianMaid99 yeah, just scuff up the rubber a bit to make it stick better.
The obnoxious benzol fumes are atrocious. They made me very sick by only a bicycle tube repair.
Great info ^^
What if you can’t find heptane. Will straight Elmer’s rubber cement work?
Bostik tends to be industry standard
Impossible to find also. Seller won't send outside their country. So if you live in a small european country, you are screwed.

Very good video
3:02 I was going to suggest wearing gloves on your gloves, but then you went bare-handed, haha.

Can you recommend a way to repair polymorph chlorinated catsuit and a skirt. Can yo glue it and can you suggest some glue to fo it? Thx. LD
I have a guide for repairing chlorinated latex here - czcams.com/video/0PGpAMvTV5Q/video.html
any idea what type of glue to use for bonding hard plastic to latex?
Apparently Elmers bought Bestine a few years ago...
Best test/bestine are made by Speedball
I put the wrong address for mj trends.com. They sell latex adhesive for $16.50
leave it to the Czechs to have super slow shipping.
You can't get bostik 3851?
It is very costly to import in America.
Please give us links to getting the glue and is it locally in the US
The product links are all in the video description!
Two questions:
1. Why not give yourself noseholes?
2. Why not modify the mouth to line up with your mouth?
Hi sweeties im just starting and im not even from US sooo the thinner brand is not available here rubber cement is so i just sondee if i could use any solvent thinner??
Make sure the solvent you use is primarily Heptane based.
Hi it seems unavailable anywhere on amazon these dans.. any second sources you know to buy it?
any art supply store should carry both the rubber cement and the solvent
HI I ENJOYED YR VIDEO.. IT MAY BE A
WEIRD QUESTION BUT I USE LATEX HAIR BONDER FOR HAIR EXTENSIONS. MY BONDER BOTTLE HAVE TURNED HARD,DO YOU THINK THE HEPTANE WILL DESOLVE THE GLUE AND MAKE IT USABLE?
THANK YOU ANGELA
Is it possible to remove a glued latex piece from another?
When you glue 2 pieces together and need to readjust, you can easily peel it right away. The longer you wait the more difficult it becomes, but still doable. Depends of the glue and solvent percentage. If you use a roller and press on the seams, consider it glued forever.
ステキ😊😘
What is your telegram? My friend on Instagram @rubbermatey told me that you had a telegram chat going
Where can I find heptane in Canada any leads ??
You can order solvent from Micheals
you can buy latex glue at tjtrends.com
