I see no reason not to use rubber cement (the abovementioned RC - I use Elmer's Rubber Cement but Best Test is supposedly better) on both the rubber and the blade. It's a LOT easier to use, no really long waits for the stuff to dry, and no OH HECK moments when you accidentally touch the rubber and a small part of the layer peels off... Rubber cement is NOT illegal to use - what IS illegal is failing the VOC test. Which your racket will pass anyway if you wait a few days before testing. Not that many of us would ever have to have our rackets tested, ever.

Actually, I take this back. I can think of one good reason to use water based cement on the rubber. It's for OX pips out - Elmer's causes it to curl up. Water based glue lets it stay flat. But for regular inverted rubbers, Elmer's works fine on both the blade and the rubber.
