I use Gorilla Glue too. I cut a few shallow slices on the back of the pink stuff and then use a couple of small wooden boards (that I got at wal-mart in the craft section) and some of those large paper clip things with the springs to hold it together while it dries. Works really good, but yes, use a thin layer of Gorilla Glue or it will seep out. Also, it will fill carved out places in the rubber really well while still being pliable, so you can mount a new stamp carved on the back of a stamp that you want to retire and/or you screwed up when you were carving it the first time.

Doesn't gorilla glue need water to activate it?

No.
The bottle suggest wetting one side but it is not necessary. It is very slick. The two pieces being joined can move if not held in place. It also dries hard reducing the effect of foam cushion. Up side it is waterproof.
