We bought the blade to enjoy the feeling of the surface hitting the ball. Adding a layer will surely reduce its feel to some degrees. Water based glue is so easy to apply, just use it.

Aren't glue sheets really only for Ox rubbers? I think for inverted or sponged pips water glue is really better.

I tried glue sheet once and it was a huge pain to remove it from the blade.

Depends on the glue sheet. My problem was never to get it off the blade. I seal my blades so I could simply "wash" the remaining glue
off the blade using a small rag soaked in mineral turps.
The real problem was to get things off the sponge. The glue sheets should never be used unless one uses the rubbers until they
need to be thrown away.
This applies only to the cheap sheets from China, the expensive ones might be more forgiving as the two sides allegedly
have different stick-ability, one side for the rubber the other for the wood.
