The invention relates to a method for mutually adhering moulded articles of at least partially vulcanized rubber polymers. The method comprises at least the steps of providing a rubber composition which comprises a peroxide with an initiating temperature lower than the vulcanization temperature of at least one of the rubber polymers; arranging an adhesive layer of the rubber composition on the surface of the moulded articles which is to be adhered; bringing the surfaces for adhering together under pressure; and vulcanizing at least the adhesive layer at an increased temperature.
