For the wealthy - Nittaku Fine zip
For most amateurs - Revolution No.3 or DHS #15
If you don't care - any glue

It seems the glues vary within themselves and upon which rubbers you use them on.

6 Best Table Tennis Glues - Expert Reviews (Summer 2023)
We have tested and reviewed the six best table tennis glues that are ITTF approved, easy to apply, and keep the rubber in tip-top shape.
pingpongacademy.org
Best value by far Tearmender, $10-15 for 6 oz online
tt branded glues are ridiculously overpriced at around $10 per oz or more
all of the above are variations on water based latex glue with slightly different formulas that result in slight variations with thickness, stickiness, etc. tt companies just charge more

The rule of thumb here is not to buy any German made glues like Butterfly Free Chack 1, Andro Turbo, Donic, Gewo etc etc...
Especially if you like to swap your rubbers around. It is impossible to peel those glues off sponges without damaging the sponge.
Haifu water based glue, DHS no15, Revolution 3 and the cheap Chinese stuff on aliexpress are great. You see a 100-150ml Yinhe or Huieson or Lidu or Dianchi glue for 2-3 bucks? Great, get it.

Butterfly FreeChack Pro II is my favorite. Don't get the normal FreeChack II, those are not good at all.
Revolution 3 is also pretty good.
Revolution 3 is also pretty good.
The two most reliable glues I have used is Copydex and Donic Formula First. Copydex is a conventional ammonia/water based latex glue that is very consistent and has enough ammonia to keep the glue from curdling on the blade and enough rubber solids to make a good bond. Availability may be iffy unless you can get it cheap on amazon or ebay. Donic Formula First is a non ammonia formula that is thin but is quite strong and reliable.
The other glues I have tried have all failed at one point or another including TearMender, Finezip, Neottec, Freechack and Demco. The usual cause of failure is ammonia migrating out of the glue container while on the stock shelves or manufacturing inconsistency or possible freezing during transport.

I am coming to the bottom of my 2nd 500ml of revo3 and have started to look for cheaper alternatives:
New Arrival Sueke Suke Table Tennis Racket Water Soluble Inorganic Glue Rubber Adhesive 260ML With Sponge, about half the price.
I also received a bottle of Loki glue which is surely the same as the Haifu stuff. I was skeptical because these glues are not water-based but solvent- based. I just finished some tests using old rubbers and old blades and it works a treat and i love the smell. 😂

Yeah, the green Loki bottle looks like the same as Haifu speedglue. You can sniff to get a bit more kick in your head.I am coming to the bottom of my 2nd 500ml of revo3 and have started to look for cheaper alternatives:

That Sueke glue might be DHS no15, if it doesn't smell like revolution. If it has a fairly pleasant smell then chances are it's DHS.
Maybe it will be a thinner then normal DHS no15, but I like the thinner glues, they are nicer to work with.

Absolutely love DHS no.15 for me. So easy to remove glue from dense chinese like sponges. Haifu glue is also used here in the club and I bet it works great as rubbers get changes often.

Yes, the bottles look the same but Haifu of course uses the same kind of bottle to sell BOTH the speed glue AKA booster and also just the voc based glue.

Hmm, I call solvent based glues speedglue, and Seamoon and Falco booster, but you're right the bottles are similar.

I've been using the Donic Blue for a few years now. Love it. You only need one coat and it sticks even boosted curved rubbers. Removing rubber is easy and can even restick without applying more glue.
I don't understand how people like Revolution. I hated it. It didn't stick at all and I had to use 3+ layers to get any adhesion. Also if you have curved rubber from boosting it will not stick and edges will curl up. Removing it was impossible and I would rip up my sponges. It was the worst glue I've ever used.
Oh, and I've tried Haifu before. It was junk. Basically water with a little adhesive in it. Totally useless.
