Standard PVA is fine.

I would be surprised if PVA had very good adhesion to Rubber.Originally Posted by Beobloke
Its a water soluble adhesive that likes a porous surface to get into, Wood, Plaster, Cement etc.
It peels off flexible plastic surfaces quite easily and I would have thought the same for Rubber, whether natural or thermoplastic.
I use polythene bags between surfaces I don't want to stick together, with PVA that oozes out of clamped joints etc. They pull away from the set adhesive quite easily.

As always, I recommend Aleene's Original Tacky Glue. I've done many speaker repairs with it. It is water based and allows joints to stay movable for a while, long enough for you to be sure positioning is correct. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/ALEENES-OR...IAAMXQUmFSmxeQ
This adhesive is also perfect if you want to experiment with doping. Paint it on and once dry, you have the same type of slightly glossy, semi tacky surface coating as found on many drive units.

I always use contact cement. The shoe goo is a really good idea. I've never thought about trying that.

Shoe Goo is also a contact adhesive I believe. They do work for speaker surround repairs, but can be tricky, as they grab and if you get the surround in the wrong position and want to repositions it you can have problems. As I've experienced. That's why I use a water based adhesive now.

You have to be committed with contact cement. I've had problems with I too, and it's not easy to fix if you don't notice right away. I'm probably just being stubborn because I like the smell. I've shoe goo for it's intended purpose.
