After gluing and removing rubbers from a Yinhe Earth 3, which has a really smooth finish on the blade face, and a Korbel, which has a less smooth surface than Yinhe (for my surprise), I noticed something obvious. It is much easier to apply glue and remove rubbers from a smoother surface.
Based on this, since we seal the blades basically to prevent it from splintering when removing the rubbers, what about sanding the surface to get a really smooth surface instead of sealing it?
Off course I’m talking about the finest grit sandpapers to only work on the smoothness, and not to remove thickness. Also, using a straight block and all proper care.
My only concern is if the water on the water based glue could do actual damage to the blade over time.
