Hey,

2 Weeks ago I boosted my ( at the time) new H3N BS.
After 3 days or so I glued it on my blade.
I used 2 layers of DHS No 15 on the rubber and 1 layer on the blade.
Now I just got a new Blade and I am not sure how I should reglue.

Should I peel the old glue off the rubber,
if yes do I boost again? ( How to boost this time around)

If I dont peel the old glue of How many layers do I put this time?

What other things to watch out for.

I dont wanna mess with the boost in any major way and I want to do it as cleanly as possible.

What do I do?

no 15 glue comes off very easily.
have you removed the rubber yet?
if you have, I do believe, some of the glue is already off, so you will have no choice but to remove all the glue.

There will still be booster alive in the sponge.
What booster did you use?

2 layers of glue after 2 layers of boost
okay, this is what I will do (not a fixed answer, since everyone will have they own ways)

2 weeks has passed, the booster would have started to evaporate and become weaker.

I think you can add 1 layer of glue, wait for it to dry, add 1 layer of booster, wait a day or so then add another layer of glue. Then add 1 layer of glue on your blade and you should be able to glue onto your blade.

If your rubber reverse domes (where top sheet is bigger than sponge), then use 2 layers of booster.

If your rubber still domes from the initial booster, your wait time after that 1 layer of booster could be a bit longer, just wait for it to settle before adding glue on. If the dome is pretty strong, add 2 layers of no 15 glue on before gluing.

It might be off topic but,
I have a xiom omega VII Euro on backhand,
Is there any point in boosting that as well? Would it harm the rubber or do anything at All?
these rubbers are pre boosted already
Euro is pretty soft, I don't recommend boosting too soft of rubbers, as it will get softer.
If you do want to boost, 1 layer is enough. I would put 1 layer of glue on sponge first though.

or if the rubber is old and lost a bit of kick in it, then a layer can bring some life back. again, a layer of glue first

Just to sum up and understand correctly,

- I remove the H3N from the blade
- I remove the glue from the rubber
- I put 1 layer glue on the rubber and let it dry
- I put 1 layer Booster on the rubber and let it sink in for the next day
- I put 1 layer glue on the rubber and 1 layer onthe blade
- Then stick them together and be happy with new carbon blade
