If you have the skills and the proper glue and some micro -balloons you could make a paste and fill the cracks. Apart from the visible missing little bits of veneer is there actually a delamination of the top sheet ??I just peeled my old rubbers off my FZD ALC and noticed this on my backhand side. Is there gonna be any regluing or performance issues when I paste new rubbers onto it?
I didn’t lacquer the blade and i always peel from bottom left diagonally to top rightIf you have the skills and the proper glue and some micro -balloons you could make a paste and fill the cracks.

If there is no delamination and you can not make the paste to fill the cracks I would suggest you buy a top quality superglue and carefully add a tiny drop of glue on each of the cracks and let it seep in , do nothing else. Out on the edges there will be no performance issues.
P.S. Has the blade been lacquered and when you are pulling off the old rubbers are you pulling from the side and not from bottom to the top ??
Lol BTF blades so expensive 🥲I doesn't look too bad... on the edge so it won't really effect the rubber.
It is an excuse to buy a new one though😉
well there ye go, and it is on the top right where you ripped out the little woody bits, right ???I didn’t lacquer the blade and i always peel from bottom left diagonally to top right
thanks for the advicewell there ye go, and it is on the top right where you ripped out the little woody bits, right ???
Start from the side and go across and ehhmm, lacquer the blades.
it is not really advise, just a friendly suggestionthanks for the advice
still very much appreciatedit is not really advise, just a friendly suggestion
NO !now i can see the ALC layer. will it be okay to paste rubbers on this?
Ah ok I think I might just buy a new blade then, but thanks for the offer!NO !
I am sure that if you stick another rubber on, the blade will suffer badly and when the rubber needs to come off again it might be difficult to repair. If it would not be for the distance and the postage costs I would offer to repair it for you. For somebody who has experience this is not a difficult job but it can't be done by just any woodworker. They are likely to make a mess out of it. I have repaired quite a few blades , some my own and some for club members and unfortunately there were quite a few expensive Butterfly blades involved.
Keep the blade in a safe spot. Sooner or later you will come across somebody that can fix it. If done properly this blade can be restored and will play as a new blade. Or you might hear of someone who plans a holiday in NZ.Ah ok I think I might just buy a new blade then, but thanks for the offer!
Some polyurethane matte floor lacquer, a woodfiller and a sandpaper can restore this easily.
and which of the 3 items you mentioned will fix the de-lamination of the top-veneer ?Some polyurethane matte floor lacquer, a woodfiller and a sandpaper can restore this easily.
