Yes, we used Cow Gum or rubber glue in the mid-80s to glue maps together for navigation - I have always been based on a map join! We stopped using it for reasons that apply under the Health and Safety legislation in this country... ;-).

Is "Copydex" the name you are searching for?

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.
