rubber cement, contact cement, any of it will work.
The trick to making a patch hold really really well is that you have to apply some serious pressure to it after it has been stuck on. If I'm at home I'll lay it flat and pound on it with a rubber mallet or something similar. If I'm on the side of the road I'll bash it between (whatever I can find) and the heel of my hand.

Oh, and make sure you're following the instructions as per the rubber or contact cement. Apply it to both pieces, then let it dry. Only after it's COMPLETELY dry do you stick them together.
