I'm confused. Elmers glue or rubber cement? What is the difference? I mean can they not both be used in the same way? Somewhere on this board I saw something about ways to use rubber cement.
Elmer's school glue is a starch product. Rubber cement is made with all kinds of chemicals. There is a big difference in these two products.
