Rubber cement is an adhesive made from elastic polymers (typically latex) mixed in a solvent such as acetone,hexane, heptane or toluene to keep them fluid enough to be used. Water-basedformulas, often stabilised by ammonia, are also available. This makes it part of the class of drying adhesives: as the solvents quickly evaporate, the "rubber" portion remains behind, forming a strong, yet flexible bond. Often a small percentage of alcohol is added to the mix
Contact cement is an adhesive, which, when coated on two mating surfaces and allowed to dry, provides an instant permanent bond when brought into firm contact. While contact bond adhesives are widely used for bonding decorative laminates to substrates, they are almost a “universal” general purpose cement, and will bond a variety of substrates to one another such as wood, leather, metal, etc.

Rubber cement is usually considered a temporary fixative for cut-and-paste applications. It will hold plastic together, but allow you to peel apart the pieces.

I don’t know many applications where you would use it on plastic but if you have something in mind that needs sealing,that is what the product is mainly used for,then I would say adhesion wise it should be ok

You can use rubber cement by first marking the plastic to be glued, then applying some rubber cement on one side of the plastic. Next, apply pressure until the rubber cement is dry and you want to remove it, but your hands are still wet with rubber cement.
Notice that pressing will release more of the solvent in the glue than rubbing.
Another method would be to glue two pieces together at an angle before gluing them down flat.
This prevents having any unsightly bumps on curved surfaces like TV screens or patio furniture cushions.

Will you be satisfied if I just give you my best guess? Okay, here goes:
If I had a supply of raw latex, and a quantity of liquid naphtha (lighter fluid), or duplicator fluid, for (pre-Xerox) ‘Spirit duplicators,’ I would try mixing the two together, in various ratios, to see if it works like Rubber Cement!

Unless the solvent in the rubber cement has attacked the plastic, let it dry, then rub it off. If the solvent has attacked the plastic, you can try dry and rub, but it will leave a mark.

For what? There are some things that rubber is the better material and others where some form of plastic is better. (“Plastic” is a very general term that includes many different materials.) So without specifying what purpose is intended, the question is meaningless.

Uncured latex dissolved in a solvent. There are some other formulations that are entirely synthetic.
