RKC from Diamond works well.

F200 spray contact adhesive
Same as regular contact cement as far as I know, just tinted so it's easier to see where it's been applied.

Thanks ! I’ve heard of lepage somewhere in my search , one suggestion is weld wood mfg by dap , then the latest is Barges contact cement that I just watched Doug Jiles use on his YouTube channel Creative restoration. Thanks
Don't know the answer myself, but was fascinated first time i watched the AE Schmidt video that they appear to use titebond yellow glue.
It's shown in a couple of their videos.
Would not have imagined it would stick well to rubber, but on second thought, it is about the best glue for formica, (way better than contact, but of course much slower & requires a press for formica)

In video above, gluing the rubber on starts at 11:05. Some description.

I'm no professional but I used Barge contact cement(yellowish/red can), it holds well.
Wrong answer!
Is there an info sheet somewhere for it? Or if you have a minute could you tell me the difference?

I pioneered FB10 in this industry back in 1983, before anyone even knew what it was. I was the one that introduced it to Diamond and Simonis both, a long time ago. But though it had 5 great things about it, it also had 11 negatives. The glue I designed still has those 5 great things about it, but I also changed the 11 negatives as well, turning out a much better adhesive for the billiards industry.
The problem with all your choices of glue just goes to show you found something YOU can work with, but you have no idea how you choice of glue stacks up with the best on the market, because you're DRIVERS, and not professionals, who do this for a living.
