I'm back in the forum!! And like any TT forum member I've felt the urge to come back and post my COMPLAINTS. Ahahaha, I'm obviously exaggerating, but kidding aside, I've come across a recurring problem: my sheets of Hurricane and Skyline aren't tacky!
The first time I tried DHS rubbers about a year ago, I bought a skyline II for my FH and it was as tacky as heck! But I've since bought another sheet of Skyline and a sheet of Hurricane at the beginning of the year and neither were even remotely tacky. (Skyline was black, slightly tacky, but nowhere near the first sheet I bought.)
I just bought, cut, and glued new sheets of H3.50 and Skyline3.60; I took off the plastic coverings of the leftover edges and only the black sheet was SLIGHTLY tacky.
It's worth mentioning that I live in the Philippines, where it's quite humid, and that a fellow ponger bought DHS rubbers (H3 & Tinarc) from the same store that I do at about the same time I did and his were tacky as crazy!!
So why do you think my rubbers turn out untacky, and is there any safe method for me to reverse the curse? Thanks!
EDIT: the first sheet of Skyline I bought still is a bit tacky, tackier then my new ones. I replaced it because the sponge was kinda dead and I needed a faster rubber on my FH
EDIT 2: The rubbers have an oily sort of feel to them. Will try them out tomorrow, haven't removed the plastic film yet. Should I remove the plastic and kinda "air out" the sheets, or leave them as is until I use them?
