vulcinisation solution is not a glue in the tradional snese of something to act as a bond beteween two items.
i.e:
material1-glue-material2
It actually loosens up the rubber pollymers to a certain extent and then allows the polleymers to inter twine. Hence why you need to let the solution "go off" before you put the patch on. Then the polymers mix up together again and the bond is formed between the two materials as they mix up. That's the way I understand it to work.
