Will Super Glue work on rubber?

Yes, super glue will stick to rubber, but remember super glue is not “Tough” (that is a material science defn) . The rubber has a high elongation and super glue can not move that way. Normally, you should pick you adhesive to match the base material's elongation or movement.

Can you use a hot glue gun on rubber?

Will Gorilla Hot Glue bond plastic/vinyl/rubber? Gorilla Hot Glue bonds most plastics, but may not work well on certain difficult to bond plastics, such as polyethylene (PE) and polypropylene (PP), or rubbers with high oil or plasticizer content.
