Does anyone know what contact cements work for bonding silicone sheets together? I have the same question for bonding butyl rubber sheets together. I am developing a protoype of a camping water filter product and need to design and build my own bladder components for the design. Also any links or contacts for purchasing the contact cements would be helpful. thanks

easiest approach would be to use an RTV silicone on silicone sheeting. RTV is available at your local hardware store
 
Burke Industries, Inc (phone 408-395-9020) sells a very good contact adhesive called BR-700. Bond Silicone with any commercially available RTV silicone adhesive, being sure to remove any coatings or release agents first. Also, Burke Industries sells a Potable water contact approved fexible membrane based on Hypalon which is easily weldable.
