Rubber Cement with Lathe

[Warlock1]

Looking for some insight, do some turning on the lathe, an it was suggested to me to use rubber cement to hold 2 halves together to turn. The idea is that they could be separated easily after turning, he said they use this method when turning bowls. Anyone try this before? Any better ideas? I usually make my pieces a bit longer an use wood glue, once cut to length the pieces separate easily.

Warlock1,
Never tried rubber cement.
If what you are doing now works well for you, why would you try to change it?

Because there 10 ways to do everything and my way may not always be the best way for every situation. I try to keep an open mind, and explore different ways, because I will be in a situation some day where it will be helpful.

I was a teacher in the wood working area for 25 years and it had to be saftey
first. For bowls had to be screwed to a base plate. After being compleated
the screw holes were fill with wood filler and a felt pad glued to the bottom.
If a bowl comes flying off at high speed you are looking at a big problem
especially when you have no shield. Just my 2 cents.

You can use a paper towel betwixt the bowl and a scrap. It holds, but doesn't like to come apart, but its only scrap, so it won't matter if you get rough.

  I've always used yellow glue and piece of heavy brown grocery bag between the bowl and scrap block, that's screwed to the face plate.  I use plenty of glue on both pieces of wood, and i separate it when done with a sharp chiesel...

I always used heavy poster board and lot's of glue. Text book shows you use a piece of sacrificial wood on the faceplate to run the screws into. When you finish turning take a chisel and separate the two pieces while still on the lathe. After it's stopped running of course.
