What solvent or glue will permanently bond vulcanized rubber (a bicycle inner tube) to PVC pipe?
I need a substance that will create a watertight bond and withstand long-term exposure to mild lubricants (Hand lotion, vegetable oil, etc.).
Metal content: There's a 1/4-28 allen-head screw in there somewhere.

My bet is that a two-part urethane might do the trick. There are also blends of pvc and natural rubber that you might use as a "bonding layer" between two parts that are thermally welded.

Rubber cement or contact cement
It isn't really vulcanized rubber. It is a synthetic rubber. Perhaps buna, perhaps SBR, possibly EPDM. I have used 3M Pronto CA40H to bond EPDM to CPVC in production.
I'd use a hose clamp if I could; the rubber bits in the basement are all attached to cast iron and plastic with 'em.
I 'think' Gorrila glue will do that. Uncle borrowed some to glue PVC pipe to wood and I've glued rubber to leather (sno pacs) so I think pvc to rubber is doable.
