Elmer's Rubber Cement is not the vulcanizing kind!

I bought a 4oz jar (UPC 0 269050 8) of this stuff from Home Depot last
year for about $2.50. Pretty cheap stuff.
I finally got a chance to use these on my inner tubes for my 27" x
1-1/4" tires (100 psi) and found out that they don't really stick
permanently. The next day I discover that some part of the patch has
breached.
In trying to figure out what I did wrong (I have successfully patched
other tires before using the glue from patch kits), I figure it's that
I'm either using too thick of a layer of Elmer's or that this rubber
cement really isn't the vulcanizing kind.
What do you guys think?
Where can I buy (in bulk) a large amount of the vulcanizing cement
from at the best price?
I was under the impression that vulcanizing requires heat and a curative
to produce cross-linking of the polymers, and "vulcanizing fluid" is a
marketing term.
