Default Stronger rubber cement?

Gentlemen,

Is there something stronger than the usual rubber cement in the
patch kits? Ideally something that won't dry out so fast or where
multiple cheap small tubes are available.

The reason is that I sometimes have larger holes from side wall
blow-outs. Not inch-long gashes but one or two tenths of an inch
long. The tubes I use are super thick and, therefore, expensive.
$15-20 each and that's not something to be thrown out lightly.
Instead of the li'l REMA patches I need to use thicker rubber from
an older sacrified tube but this has to be vulcanized/cemented
really well.

Jeorg, considering the amount and extent of flats that you get
perhaps you should observe Tosspot's recommendations:

:-)

I don't get many flats but if I do they are nasty tears on the sides
where tubes flex all the time. Caused by side wall failures of tires.

So I need something that is super strong in the vulcanizing process and
where the tube or can contents won't dry out after just a few months of
storage. I always fix at home so cold storage and the necessity to use
pressure tools and such would be no problem.
