Oh good!!!  Now I feel better because that’s all I use.   J

I got a request for a club sandwich fly in my DEM class and since I’ve never tied them I pulled out the rubber cement.  I didn’t want to use anything messy since my student was 10yrs old so I gave it a try and it seemed to work great for me.

I keep things simple.  Standard rubber cement can be used as a contact cement.  Lay out the foam on a sheet of waxed paper.  Coat each piece of foam completely with a layer of thinned cement and allow it to become tackey.  Place the two coated pieces together and weight under a heavy object for @ 1 hour.  There you have it, layered foam.  I have used this process for years and have never had a body separate except when I have not coated the sheets evenly before layering.

 

One caution.  Once you place the layers together, they will be hard to separate and reposition, so position the sheets carefully before joing them.

 

A real advantage to this process is that it can be done in the house safely and without a major stink, either from the cement or the significant other.

Ah, saved by Mark.  I too used contact cement, the stinky kind though.
