Contact cement is different than rubber cement. Not sure if it would work or not, but it seemed to work for Arran. Walmart would have rubber cement (as would any office supply place or probably even a CVS, Rite Aid or Walgreen's) and a hobby shop or fabric shop like Joanne Fabrics would have the Tacky glue mentioned above. I got a different brand of tacky glue at my local True Value. I think many glues might work OK as long as they are thin coats along the tear.
