Remove Glue from the Rubber..

Samee85 · Aug 20, 2015

HI All,

By Mistake my coach glued my anti spin Amy control rubber wrongly. because of that rubber was showing bubbles.. SO I removed the rubber and it is messed up now. Glue is very sticky and i cant use the finger to remove it. any other way to remove the glue without harming to its performance . need ur suggestions.

0.7,mm Amy Control Anti spin RUbber.

I take it that it was water based glue used.

Often, it is tricky to remove certain water based glue with only fingers.

You could try rubbing some lighter fluid or lamp oil onto the sponge, allow it to sit there a minute or three, then it will be 100x easier to remove the water based glue residue.

Even rubber cement helps out immeasurably.

I believe it depends a lot on the sponge type... (Big pores, small pores, etc.)
It took me about an hour to get that whacky andro wbg off my Spinart Rubber. So keep your patience and don't rush it. Everything should be fine.

I know a player that wraps duct tape around his hand and dabs the glue off. says it works fairly easily

Also works great on black t-shirts when someone has thrown the wolly mamuth in the dryer to keep the T-shirts company...

You lightly rub the stuff over the glue and start wiping within 1-2 min your sponge will be fine.

Stay away from the HCl and H2SO4 if you can...

Have you ever tried nail polish remover? It used to work really good on VOC glues. I don't know about wbg, though.....

Works great on wbg.. But! Id be reaal careful using it on a sponge.

On a blade, its perfect. Cotton woll and nail polish remover takes care of the most glue and sponge on most blade.

I would not want to use nail polish remover but that is just me.

Somebody used some really awful brown-ish glue on one of the kids bats, that took me forever to remove. It was very thick and hard. I could only use a credit card to cut through the layers of it in order to release the rubber. Removing it was also pain. It's very sticky and only lamp oil and benzin could remove and clean it. It's got to be some sort of table tennis glue somebody knows about though.

Thanks a lot, guys.

Hey, if you tried it on rubbers and voc-glues to good effect, you know more than me. Im just hesitant as the npr really losens up any glue. If that gets through the sponge your in trouble..

Suga D · Aug 20, 2015

I've only tried it once and it seemed to work fine, but you're absolutely right, one has to be real careful using it. I just poured a few drops on a tissue and rubbed it over the sponge, but that's like balancing on the edge of a razor... A little bit too much and the rubber is garbage.
I think next time i'll rather try lamp oil, like the real mentioned.

Too much lamp oil is definitely gonna effect the sponge's softness. But some people like that.

Der_Echte · Aug 20, 2015

It doesn't take a whole lot of lighter fluid or lamp oil or kerosene or whatever to loosen the glue to a point where it is manageable to remove it with fingers or a rubber cutout.

Thank You all for your suggestions.. Lamp Oil works well.

I managed to remove all of it but it cost me 2 hours..
