Suitable glue to repair flexible cork tablemat?

I wondered if anyone knew which glue I could use to repair a flexible cork tablemat? I bought some really fancy ones recently and my DS decided to test out their flexibility and tore a chunk off. I could fix it quite invisibly if I knew a suitable glue which would give a clear, flexible finish. They aren't very thick either, perhaps 2mm. Thanks for info anyone can provide.

Copydex? Not sure how clear it dries but it's flexible and easy to use. Any excess on the surface of the mat will rub away.0

Thanks for that, I'll give it a go.“Ordinary riches can be stolen, real riches cannot. In your soul are infinitely precious things that cannot be taken from you.” - Oscar Wilde0

Copydex doesn't dry clear. Use an all-purpose adhesive such as UHU which is flexible and dries clear.0

I would use a thin layer of PVA adhesive on both surfaces, hold together until dry - selotape or weight of books holding parts together. NB wipe of excess - should dry clear!I'm mad!!!! :rotfl::jand celebrating everyday every year!!!0
