GLUE - Does the brand of glue i choose make a noticeable difference ?

DHS No. 15 is very good, however if you're in a very dry environment, it can dry quickly and clump up if you're slow at spreading it, or don't use enough.

Worst I've tried is Stiga Bond Glue, it's easier to apply than DHS No. 15, but it hardens so much and digs into the sponge, it's almost impossible to remove again without damaging the sponge, atleast for hybrid rubbers that is.

Ok everyone this is all very interesting, which glue feels the spread, but the forum was orgiginally about effect on play difference, anyone noticed any?

I can see, from my comparison of DHS and Stigas glue, the Stiga glue definitely felt a lot faster and more elastic, which was also obvious when excess glue was removed, whereas the DHS glue is more neutral and soft.

Easy test could just be to let some excess glue dry by itself and then see it's elasticity/springiness when stretching it
