Hi All,
I have 2 rubbers that I took off my first blade about 10/12 months ago. Upon advice these were film wrapped and kept in a cool dark place.
Now that my technique has improved, I would like to re-try these rubbers that were recommended by a coach but they have shrunken a very small amount (about 1mm ).
So, are there any tricks to getting the rubbers back to the original cut size ? What about a single layer of boosting , would that expand the sponge enough to give me the 1mm back before I glue it ? Would "Pushing" the rubber forward to the tip of the blade work or would it just ping back the minute I let go?
Any and all advice appreciated.
