drying

Hi, I have an old warped Korbel FL black tag and I tried to straighten it with the help of this tutorial: http://www.instructables.com/id/Straighten-warped-table-tennis-paddle-bat-racket/ The blade is now drying under the press. Does anyone know approximately how long it'll take? Thanks

Is it really necessary to apply pressure when the glue is drying after u glue a new rubbers to the blade. I'm talking about the long period not using the roller when you gluing the rubber

Hi My coaches use a hairdryer to dry the glue, which speeds up the process by A LOT. I was wondering if this does anything to the rubber/glue? Like if the hot air does anything or etc.
