I am making and selling TT blades, mostly with rubbers. I have installed hundreds of pips in and some pips out with sponge, but never an OX rubber. I opened the package with the Palio CK531A rubber today and expected the rubber to have some kind of a body, but the rubber sheet holding the pimples is flimsy and as soft as a balloon.
Can anyone who has experience with gluing this type of rubber help me out please?
What is the best glue to use? I have Haifu water-soluable bond, Haifu Dolphin and Tulpe on hand and usually use them by applying one coat to the blade and 2 to 3 coats to the rubber. Then wait until they are no longer tacky before applying the rubber to the blade. This has worked for me with all sponge backed rubbers, but this flimsy balloon type rubber scares me. How do avoid getting wrinkles into the rubber sheet when applying it? Will the rubber sheet get somewhat stiffer after glue is applied to it?
Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.
