I use Stiga Rosewood V with HK3 Neo on FH and T64 on BH, with Nittaku Finezip water-based glue.
Recently during a practice session I realized the FH side sound muted and need to hit extra hard than usual to have the impact sound.
The return blocking also net frequently. Friends advised that I should re-glue it. And indeed after reglue the performance is recovered.
Questions :
1-How often should one re-glue the rubber ?
2-Isn't that the new type of water-based glue should last longer ?
3-Do we wait till such performance degraded and then re-glue it ? (What if is in the middle of a match this happen ?)
Or should I do it proactively e.g. every 3 month ? (This FH rubber was about 3 months old since it was first installed)
4-At every re-glue the rubber gets a little heavier (I measure about 1g more). So if after 4~5 reglue will I need to junk the rubber as it gets too heavy ?
