If its not yet polymerised its not a latex in my field.
Just natural rubber kept liquid with ammonia.
*la·tex
ˈlāˌteks
noun
a milky fluid found in many plants, such as poppies and spurges, that exudes when the plant is cut and coagulates on exposure to the air. The latex of the rubber tree is the chief source of natural rubber.*As I've pointed out.. You just need a "glue" that is:
- elastic
- water, gas and oil resistant (on the road)
- not effected by the solvents used in the tyre mastic
- stronger than the tyre mastic
Barge glue?
I assume you mean the US branded stuff used to glue soles onto shoes-- my favorite is the German Kövulfix? Sure.. It is one of the popular choices-- and I've used it in this application. What makes it, however, suboptimal is that its sticky. Industrial glues like Terokal or 3M Fast Tack are probably better. I guess it really depends upon the construction of the tyre. With traditional tyres-- and that includes Conti Competitions and Sprinters-- I'd stick with latex milk. Latex is also what is traditionally used for the sidewalls. - elastic

Hmmmm.

I was thinking some sort of reactive glue would resist both solvent and water. Seemed overkill.
