Latex Adhesive Advice
I have an older latex prop that has started to come apart at a glue seam and I was hoping one of our resident experts in the latex field could suggest a good, fast-acting latex adhesive that I could use to make repairs.

regular latex can be used, but for the strongest bond, you may want to try silicone caulk, or carpet latex adhesive. IMHO
Anyone else?

I would go with the clear rubber silicone.
You can even get it in a sqeeze tube. It works wonders!

The best adhesive for a given material is one that is based on that material. Regular latex will work well but I'd use the carpet stuff because it's not just pure latex but a latex based adhesive and is very sticky and gummy. You'll need to give it a lot of dry time cuz that stuff stays tacky for a long time.
Needless to say you'll have to touch up the paint job where the repair was made.
