Rubber cement is a type of glue that is oten used in gluing paper, because it is not water-based, and therefore does not ruin the paper.
Rubber glue is an elastic polymer mixed with a solvent like acetone. When it's applied, the solvent dries out allowing the glue to harden and adhere.

How do you stick rubber to cement?

With ordinary 'rubber cement' glue. Apply to both surfaces and set in place just before glue totally dries. Ive done this dozens of times and its there permanently if you do it right.
