Should/can I re-glue my rubbers?

GusShnaps · Feb 26, 2019

Can I re-glue my already cut rubbers? Some parts are detaching and it's kind of annoying, would it be bad if I re-glue it?
If I could, how should I do it? I've noticed that they "shrink" (probably because we have to press on the rubber), so how should I do it?

You can and you should. Be careful not to damage the blade while removing it, slowly pull from the handle and up. The only tricky part is to place it back dead center. I usually place it 1mm towards the leading edge (left on BH and right on FH) to avoid wood sticking out and splitting balls should they hit the edge there. You shoul glue the rubber the same way you remove it - from bottom and up, ideally pressing it down with a roller. The pressing part helps unshrink the rubber to the point where it covers the entire blade or, often, even sticks out.

If you want regluing your rubbers, they will shrink for sure, so you have to boost a little bit just for expanding and ensure to keep pressing after gluing, and when they sticked strongly you can cut the broken side.
