How to remove glue

[sebi]

Hello Ladys and Gentleman,
I want to remove glue from my rubbers to reglue them on another blade, has anybody tips so I don´t tear craters in my sponge. I used Butterflys Free Check Pro II on Dignics 09c and 05.

Spill some glue on your table or on the cutting mat or anywhere else and wait until it dries, then roll the dried glue over your sponge until all the glue on your sponge gets picked up. Easy clean sponge, ready for reglue

That's your first mistake. If you want to reglue rubbers, use DHS No 15 or Nittaku Finezip. These glues will peel off neatly in a single sheet. Most other glues will tear the sponge.

You may be able to get the glue off by gently rubbing it with the backside of a spoon, but it might tear your sponge. If I were you I'd just add another layer on top of the glue that's already there.

Try to use DHS no. 15, it peels really easy and its pretty cheap tbh

Yep, this is best advise

Or you can disperse some additional latex-based glue on the sponge and wait until it dries. This new glue layer will adhere more strongly to the old glue on the dignics sponge then to the dignics sponge. now you can peel off the 2 glue layers together in one go.

Yinhe`s glue also comes off easily and cleanly. It is very thin, almost like free chalk II, except it peels off.

Rev. 3 medium viscosity is also good for peeling off

BTY glues are probably the best advert for rubbers planned obsolescence

Indeed, Finezip and DHS 15 are way better and easy to peel off, those are the ones I use since my bad experience with BTY glues.

Ah ok so just never use Butterfly glue again. I heard some people use irons to remove glue, apparently you can use the hot side and slide the glue off, but i am worried it will damage the sponge. Ok since I used up all my butterfly glue i will buy the one from DHS

The issue with DHS #15 is if you are using a sealed blade. I have 2 sealed W968 blades and this glue is not strong enough.

I shall try putting a couple of layers of Free Chack Pro 2 on blade, a couple of layers of DHS #15 on rubber and glueing that way (hopefully it works).

That's not what I observed. I have a W968, 2x HL5X and all three are sealed. Even with one layer each on the blade and the rubber the glue is strong.

In order to avoid craters on your sponge, peel it off properly trying to softening the glued with a hair dry and rub gently with your finger tips. They cooler the glue is, the harder to remove.

In my experience, it is relatively easy to remove bty free chack glue from fine-pored hard sponges without any damage to the sponge, and next to impossible for large-pored soft rubbers.

In case of the former, I just gently (and patiently!!!) rub my big finger against the sponge surface, the glue heats up from friction and starts to come off the sponge and clump together. Wearing arubber kitchen glove can help speed up the process and avoid blisters.

P.S.: Obvs, I misspoke in the video, it's the glue that would come off, not the rubber!

the issue is not with the glue but with the sealing. If sealer is applied wrong and too much of it, it needs to be sanded lightly. It is called "braking the gloss finish".

DHS15 is god glue and sticks well. The only glue i know that is better is the SUEKE. It sticks even better and when pulling it off one can pull and pull without the glue breaking into small parts

Yea I seal all my DHS blades, including multiple 968s, and some Butterfly blades as well. I also use fairly well boosted H3. I've had issues with DHS #15 sticking. Also zero splinters.

So i reglued using DHS 15, and i have to say its a great rubber to apply, really thick but easy to spread. To my own surprise I had no issue removing the glue from my dignics 09c and 05 but i am shocked by how much they shrink within a week lost 0,25 cm in verticalaty. It was hanging over the edge of the blade by that much and now it just gets to the edge is a bit to short even. Must be heavily boosted from factory

I had pretty good results to remove it with

tesa ADHESIVE REMOVER.​

That is going straight into the sponge like the acetone from speed glue. It is possible to affect the rubber in a bad way.

I am using DHS 15. And Dario's YT trick to add a couple of layers with cheap glue before removing. In such way, the glue layer becomes thicker and can be removed in one go without breaking. I will try SUKE for a stronger adhesion, because DHS 15 is too weak for OX or 0.5mm pips.

I see this repeated so many times and I have yet to find it true of either glue on any rubber except H3 and similar hardness. Even on the hard rubbers it won't peel in a single sheet; I have to rub and peel it off in pieces, it just doesn't damage the sponge the way it does softer rubbers. How many layers do y'all use? Is there some secret technique I'm not following??
