The original BEST-TEST Rubber Cement was formulated in the United States in 1921 and has been produced in Trenton, NJ ever since.

It is made from premium quality, white crude rubber which has been treated and blended to become the best cement available for temporarily or permanently joining paper.

BEST-TEST is a liquified, natural rubber adhesive. It is used for permanent and temporary bonds of paper and paper products. BEST-TEST applies smoothly and easily. Especially important for the student, it is very forgiving and readily cleaned-up. No wrinkling, curling or shrinking, BEST-TEST will also not stain. Commonly used in art and graphics, it has been the rubber cement of choice for over 50 years.

BEST-TEST Rubber Cement is applied in three ways:

1. Dry mounting has the most permanence. Cover both surfaces to be joined with a coat of BEST-TEST and let dry. Align and place together, don't press as a little movement is possible before they are burnished. When alignment is critical, a slip sheet can be used between the coated surfaces. Dried BEST-TEST will not stick to clean paper.
2. Wet mounting permits more alignment but does not have the permanence of dry mounting. Apply BEST-TEST to one surface only and position before the rubber cement dries. After alignment, the bond can be improved by lifting one half at a time to dry then burnish.<3.> A combination of wet and dry mounting improves on the wet mounting bond and allows some alignment freedom. Coat one surface and let dry then coat other surface position before the BEST-TEST dries.
