sorry for the out of date bump on this thread...someone else linked to it, and it make me think of the below..

Saving money is just a nice side effect.
another way to save on rubber cement costs, especially if you have other mechanics pulling from the same jar of glue, is to get two jars of rubber cement. one is huge, and lives in a closet. this one is only used to refill the second, smaller one that lives near the bench. if the top gets left off the smaller, benchtop tub, then you've only wasted that small amount of glue.
of course, if you have trouble remembering to tighten the lid on your backstock jar, i can't help you.
