Sounds like a 2008 post ... ; )

Water based glue does not help. Maybe your friend used a booster or an old time glue ... ?

Yes, it may help, but how much depends on the rubbers and the glue. On harder rubbers and thinner glue it will not be very sensible. On semihard and softer rubbers and thicker glue with natural rubber the effect will be more sensible, especially with 2 or 3 layers on the sponge. The old VOC glue is not good for tensors and tenergy.
