Best Rubber Cement of 2025

"I found the glue easy to use with its bottle design. However, I had to be careful since it comes out quickly and can be challenging to control. The cleanup was simple, and it dries fast—about four hours. Just a heads-up: it leaves a slight yellow tint on surfaces. Overall, I was impressed by the strong adhesive strength; a little really goes a long way. I would definitely recommend this product!"
