It may work, but it very well could cause damage to the items you are trying to glue. Rubber cement is one of the least expensive glues on the market. You can get a new bottle for around $2 US.

Can you use mineral spirits or acetone to thin rubber cement?

So far I've heard that you can use acetone and from others that you can't, it will be too lumpy, best is n-heptane (or bestine rubber cement thinner). I just bought acetone and it doesn't work for me, I just get clumps of rubber in solution.

What household item will thin rubber cement?

Thinning Rubber CementTo thin rubber cement, use ... rubber cement thinner! The brand I use is called Bestine, but most any brand will work, comes in a small tin, available at office supply stores (usually) and art supply stores (always). I usually use two parts thinner to one part cement, just pour the thinner into the cement container (you might have to pour off some of the rubber cement) and mix well. If you leave the cement container lid off for a long time, you may need to add more thinner as it is very volatile. I thin the cement down so that it flows more smoothly and spreads out nicely - but with the thinned stuff you do need to make two coats, letting dry between. Also, DON'T use the thinner around any fires, cigarettes, etc., as it is extremely flammable!!! And use good ventilation as the fumes are not good for you.

How do you make carbon rubber electrode?

Starting with ordinary silicone rubber sealant add as much ultra-fine graphite powder as it is possible to get the sealant to absorb to make a putty. You will need to add so much that the putty will *almost* no longer be mouldable. Form the putty around a wire and leave to cure. You will now have a carbon rubber electrode. If it does not conduct you have not added enough graphite dust. As some silicone sealant contains fungicide this should not be used on the skin. Adding lighter fluid to silicone sealant thins it down. It may be possible to do this when making the putty to thin it down and get it to absorb more graphite powder. However I have not attempted to thin the mix in this way and as the lighter fluid stays in the silicone putty after curing *never* use this when skin contact is intended.
