There is also a coating on the rubber.  You might get better results if you can remove the coating.  That is what the sandpaper is for when patching a tire.

patch kits use vulcanizinig fluid, not glue. or at least thats what we
use in our shop for bulk patching of tubes.

you need to allow vulcanizing fluid to dry before applying the patch.
not so with glues.

glues need to be wet when you apply the things to be attached.
vulcanizing fluid needs to be dry.

does anyone know what a good glue or cement would be for gluing inner tubes
together? i'm working on a diy design for waterproof shoe covers, but can't
find any glue that will bond the rubber like a patch kit seems to...i'd like
them to be as bomber as possible, as i'm pretty sure they'll get used and
abused.

thanks!
