Can I use superglue on latex?

Question

I got this Halloween 4 mask recently and the glue that holds one of the sideburns on it starting to peel upwards. Can I use superglue to glue it back down?

Answer 1

d

Answer 2

Please avoid superglue with any forms of rubber or latex. There is a bad chemical reaction that could break down the material via turning brittle or out right melting through it.

I would strongly urge you to visit your nearest arts and craft store and inquire in person about what adhesives would be better suited for that task including bringing the mask to point out.

Otherwise I would do as drip suggested and use Rubber Cement Glue.

Answer 3

no dont i learned that the hard way i super glued my sling shot band to the slingshot and months later i removed the band to strengthen it and the rubber glued part broke like f..... crumbly crackers

Answer 4

No, it turns brittle when it dries. It doesn't work on flexible materials like latex.

I'd recommend you use any of the Goop Brand glues (Crafters' Goop, Amazing Goop, E6000, Household Goop, Shoe Goo, etc) if you are in the US. You can get them at the crafts supplies store or a hardware or home improvement store.

These glues hold almost anything to almost anything else (they do porous or non-porous surfaces) and really last a long time. They also dry slightly flexible, so they will be good on latex.

Be sure to read the instructions and the warnings on the package. This glue is one of those things that is totally safe when used as directed, but must be used as directed to be totally safe.

Answer 5

Rubber cement glue.
If you use super glue I would try the gel form.

Answer 6

I guess

Answer 7
