It is universally understood that the best adhesive product of all is rubber cement. It is the perfect consistency--two parts sticky mixed with one part goopy. It dries clear, it can go through the laminator, and it doesn't wrinkle the paper.

Teachers' love of rubber cement has nothing to do with the smell, we promise. That familiar, comforting, reminds-me-of-my-childhood, stinks-up-the-whole-room-in-a-good-way odor that we can't help but inhale as we glue project after project... we don't look for reasons to use rubber cement in lieu of other adhesives just so we can get our hands on that fragrant little bottle...
