After playing around with the jointed piece of rubber, I think the Loctite supa glue will do just fine. I have been flexing the join off & on all day, and it has held together very well. Not a sign of failure along any part of the glued edges. I would never have thought this kind of glue would be as effective as this. I didn't even prep the surfaces to be glued before I stuck em together.

When it comes time to glue the real thing, I will rough up both surfaces and clean with alcohol just prior to doing the surgery.
