Gluing with glue sheets

[Baal]

Also, they cause wood splinters even if the blade is sealed.

Yes. They can shred top plys of blades that aren't sealed and sealing may not be enough unless you use some kind of polyurethane that completely changes the way the blade plays. If not for that small detail they would be great.

A good quality glue like Finezip is just not that difficult.

Chinese glue sheets are shockingly bad and should be avoided at all cost. They typically have two mega strong sides that will wreck your blade. Donic, Tibhar and a few other produce glue sheets that are clearly marked and instructions are crystal clear. Fantastic product if you're using OX.

Actually, Tibhar's Duo has no instructions for application!

The front side of the sheet is supposed to be for the rubber, while the back side for the blade.

What is VERY STRANGE however, is that the way it's made it's for applying it upside down!!!
There is a non-sticky stripe of paper at the bottom of the front side, that prevent you from aligning it with the handle.

So I've came up with a little "modification", if anyone is interested: I've cut out a small square at the bottom, so application can be done, in alignment with the handle
