Storing rubbers

How well would my Fastarc G1 play if I left it in the packet a few months after buying and then put it on a blade?

While I reckon it wouldn’t lose its grip, I have heard that ‘tensor’ rubbers lose their juice and trampoline effect if left in the packet, however I know the fastarc g1 has less of a trampoline effect than others and may be less affected by this.

Equally, it is likely that the rubber will have sat in storage for a while before being sold to me and leaving it longer may not make a difference.

Chinese rubbers are ok to store for a while, do you think fastarc g1 would be?

Thank you for any help you can provide

Some players like to take out their rubber and place it on the dashboard of their car under the windshield mid day for 4 hours... some say that amount of time is just right for the grip.

Great, thanks

I've bought a stack of G1, back when I hadn't experienced how durable it is, anticipating a much higher replacement pace. And from that stack, I've used a few slabs on backup blades, and also when I destroyed a sheet by grazing the table corner.

They play well. The G1 abides.

I normally wrap them to avoid stink.

place them next to an air purifier, the voc reading goes off the chart and waste my power bill.

I just place an opened can of tuna next to my stash so i never smell the rubber 😁

Alas you are correct, now that I have befriended Rxton 5 I use H3 less often and I really might have to
include them in my testament
