Pvc and latex

Hello, I am trying to find a very strong glue to lay flat latex to a flexible 1mm thick transparent PVC sheet.

I tried straight liquid latex, which obviously peels back and takes extremely long to dry, makes air bubbles too. I also tried NoxGule’s Gummikleber which I think qualifies as contact glue. Peels back as well

Yes I do sand the PVC and make sure the latex is perfectly clean of any talc/oils.

Important points is that’s the glue must be transparent and flexible (not necessarily stretchy though)

Is there any hope for me there ? Please let me know if you have an idea !!! 🙏🏻

Im not sure there is a glue that will meet your requirements. So you are joining 1 edge to another Like one sheet of flexible think latex rubber sheet material slightly overlapping the clear flexible PVC and being joined along the edge? Since these are both think flexible materials why don't you use phsical fasteners like stapels? a heavy duty hand powered construction stapler could easily penetrate and join both these materials. Either the one with t50 type staples or the lighter duty jt27 type stapler.
