Letting rubbers "breathe" before sticking them on (in order to reduce shrinkage)?
Hi Guys,
I've seen a posted on you-tube which suggests that you should leave new rubbers out of the packet to "breathe" for about 72 hours in order to allow any shrinkage before putting them on the blade, rather then putting them on the blade straight out of the packet and then having them shrink afterwards. Is this common knowledge as its the first I've heard of it? Also, do you need to glue them up and then leave for 72 hours, or do you put the glue on at the end of the 72 hour period right before you stick the rubber on the blade?
I currently have a tenergy rubber that's 24 hours out of the packet but I've not put any glue on it yet.
Thanks
Stuart
