Most people who make Latex clothing are completely hush hush about the process unless you intern with them. and even then it's difficult.

most people who have started companies in the US, had to do just that, many of them with NYC's Own Baroness.

there are some people who make neoprene clothing which you can sew on a machine. it's backed with fabric.

there are many kinds of cements out there. They are all VERY toxic, so be careful and make sure you have good ventilation.

a few suggestions:

I would try barge glue/cement.
You may find wax paper very helpful.
a heat source may help with bonding.
Acetone will remove excess rubber cement/glue from latex without destroying it.
If you do decide to sew Latex. make sure that you back all the seams with latex.

good luck!

let me know how it turns out!

You don't have to sew neoprene.  The professional glues will edge-bond it as strong as the material.  Lay the pieces on wax paper, hit 'em with the glue, and it's permanent.  That's how wetsuits are joined.  Manufacturers will frequently sew the seams to give extra strength, but I've never had a glued seam fail, even on 2mil and 3mil material.

It's not as shiny as rubber, but I like it.  Just like rubber, it gets hot in a hurry.  Ugh.

3M makes a heckuva wide range of products, and I think that's who made the glue we'd used a bunch of years ago.  If I wanted to permanently bond rubber (or neoprene), I'd start with them.  The neoprene glue you find in dive shops isn't nearly as good as the 'professional grade' adhesives.

Neoprene gets hot even faster than rubber.  I once made the mistake of going to a costume party as Stockwelll Day (for non-Canadians, that meant I was wearing a 3-mil neoprene shorty -- the sort intended for water-skiing and such sports.)  I nearly suffered heat stroke.

The only advantage, temperature-wise, is that neoprene is hot not simply because it doesn't breathe, but because it's designed to be thermal insulation.  Step outside in cold weather wearing your rubber (or PVC, etc.) and you're freezing in an instant.  Neoprene, conversely, will keep you warm.
