Hi folks,
Since I had no idea what "brown rubber cement" might be I had a go using a
rubber gum (basically rubber dissoved in petroleum). It's often known as "Cow
Gum" but this was from another manufacturer and called "Studio Gum" intended
for tacking up artists paper removably (and used for pasting up in the days
before desktop publishing).
I just used a small smear around the lens barrel and replaced the rubber grip
whilst it was still wet. It seems to have done the trick and is very easy to
remove - just rub with a fingertip and it balls up and rolls off. Time will
tell how permanent the repair will be but it certainly can't cause any damage
(unlike some of the suggestions that I have been offered).
David
