How to cut your rubber a little bigger than the blade face neatly

Zaid323918 · May 3, 2017

Hi all,
Usually when you re-glue or remove tensor rubbers they shrink. I was wondering how could I cut my rubber a little bigger than the blade's face and still keep it looking neat. Also, do scissors (those Revolution 3 ones for example) work better in general or those rubber cutting knives?

Hi,

I use several layers of edgetape to make the blade face about 1-2 mm larger. Then I glue the new rubber on and cut it with a scalpel.
After removing the edgetape layers the rubber is 1-2mm bigger then the blade.

Ok I'll try that the next time I cut a rubber
