Fantastic foam brush for gluing rubber

Baal · Oct 1, 2015

You can buy these things at Home Depot or on Amazon. They are awesome. They are cheap. About $10 for a case of 48. You don't get glue on your fingers and the handle on the brush gives you a lot of control, more than you ever get with the clips. Also the shape of the sponge gives a really even layer of glue on the rubber or blade. It is like the things were made for table tennis. If Butterfly sold them they would be $5 each.

You can get them here. http://www.homedepot.com/p/Jen-1-in-Poly-Foam-Brush-48-Case-4251/205034118

I have a friend who showed me how he uses small pieces of cardboard from the packaging of the rubber to spread the glue. But darn he has steady hands. I am not so sure I could do what he does.

Looks like a good brush. But can you reuse it?
Guess it depends on what glue you use.
The Tulpe glue is so thin you have to be super careful what ever sponge, brush or cardboard (I use the packaging to) you use. Its good value for your money as you need so small amounts to cover your rubber and blade. But! It gets everywhere! Makes me crazy after gluing 2 rubbers on. My fingers look like they have the chicken pox!

Going back to the old Victoria glue that has a brush neatly installed inside the cap. Costs a bit more for each layer, but there is no hastle with it.

Victoria glue?

I've recently started using Finezip, and I'm trying several pieces of foam I regularly get in the packaging of online orders.

First conclusion I've reached is that if it's too dense it does not work well.

As for the clip, I use this : http://img14.deviantart.net/79de/i/2009/361/6/6/clip_your_document_by_injured_eye.jpg

Find one the relevant size, and you have a bigger grip than the tiny plastic ones.

Well.. Überkleber actually.. but I suspect its the same as Victoria glue. But this tincan i ordered is twice the size and has a MUCH funnier lable! Looks real legit, don't you think?

It's too expensive for what it is, considering they are non reusable as you can't clean the glue off as it hardens. Another big disadvantage is they absorb too much glue before they start laying it down nicely which is ok as long as you are not using it with 50ml overpriced butterfly glue
On the other hand they are great for painting and they are easy to clean with thinners, I use nothing but paint brushes and rollers to paint cars, parts, wood etc..

So erm yeah, overall they are great and I use them to reglue my rubbers, but I just get free foam (local tip, mattress store etc) now and make my own brushes. You don't need the handles, reuse the old ones or make some from branches. Just make sure you invest in lots of Copydex

I use the same brush as Baal and I make sure to use one side only when gluing--and then the other side the next time so I effectively get twice the life out of one of the brushes.

You get 48 of these foam brushes for $10. That is a little more than 20 cents apiece!! Put this in context. Last time I changed rubber, I paid $130 for two sheets of Tenergy which I then put onto a fairly expensive composite blade. Frankly, given the price of modern rubbers, as long as I get an excellent glue job, I don't really care if I can reuse the foam brushes or not, so I didn't check if I could. I think whether or not you could use it would depend a lot on what glue you used. Anyway, these things are really perfect for applying TT glue, like I said, awesome control, you get a very very even layer, and it is not messy. The handles are in fact a big part of what makes them good, it is part of what gives you a lot of control in applying the glue very evenly and quickly.

This aint the speedglue version according to the site. (They have that to)
Victoria contains voc but from what ive heard the amount is so small the "effect" is unnoticable within 5 days. After 5 days the voc smell also goes away.

Anders · Oct 1, 2015

When gluing with Victoria you'll have to glue every other day to retain the SG effect..

Når du limer med Victoria må du lime annenhver dag for å holde på limeffekten, brukte det en periode når dem slutta å selge Stiga Carbon limet.. vet ikke om du forstår norsk men antar det siden du har svensk flagg

Jo då, jag förstår!

Hade ingen aning om att man behövde nylimma så ofta med Victoria.
Jag handlade überkleber enbart för att det var billigt och att det är lätt att använda. Vet att fler använder det och limmar du en vecka innan finns ingen effekt kvar och därmed blir det inget utslag på någon kontroll. Win - win..

Anders · Oct 1, 2015

Just precis

Ja, nei det er vanskelig å fersklime om man ønsker en effekt, nettop for at sjansen for å bli tatt i kontroll er større, men til trening og for å banke kompiser funker det bra.. Man får boostre gummin da

How could he not understand it? You guys seem pretty much the same to everybody else.

Of course this sounds nothing like Swedish or Norwegian but funny. Maybe he is speaking Skansk.

Hehe, like Japanese and Korean?

Many swedes and danes have problems with norwegian language, dunno why but it's like that

Funny vid, but as you say, no scandinavian language there, just english with a twist

Maybe but not when you write it.
