Legendary stuff, Cow Gum! Bounces when dry and spectacularly inflammable
(don't ask). But it's not brown rubber cement - the name refers to the use,
not the components.  You would probably be better off with a yellow
neoprene type contact adhesive (can't remember English brands - used for
leather, rubber, cloth and shoe work). Very common stuff - if it's
yellow/brown and in a tube labelled 'contact adhesive' it's probably the
right stuff.
