Hi!
So, I have this issue.
I had troubles with my FZD ALC, mine just isn't a good particular exemplar, to light.
It has FH D09c, BH D09c on it.
Frustrated, I put on a new BH rubber for a last try, so now it has FH D09c and BH D05.
Unfortunately it didn't help with the perfomance.
So I bought a new blade, a Viscaria Super ALC.
On this new SALC blade I want to put the "old" but very fresh rubbers from the FZD blade.
The FH 09c is glued with BTY Free chack pro 2, and the BH D05 is glued with DHS no15.
After reading this thread my conclusion is that I WILL be able to peel of the old glue on the backhand rubber (D05) but I WILL NOT be able to peel of the forehand rubber (D09c)?
Since the rubbers are so new and fresh (and expensive...) - I do not want to try to remove the glue from the forehand rubber (D09c), but i will peel the glue off from the BH rubber.
I now wonder.. could I just glue the FH D09c on the new blade by just adding more glue?
Doing a regular glueing method with 2 layers on the sponge 1 on the blade, -but now with DHS no15 on top of the old BTY glue?
What will happen? Will it stick? Will the sponge soak up the new glue?
I'm aware it'll get thicker of course. But in my mind I can't see a reason why it wouldn't work.
But could there be any negative downsides by doing this? Else I would feel that I just wasted 90€..
**Disclaimer**
I'm aware that some might think "just work on your technique if you can't handle D09c!" etc..
But trust me, I have another Viscaria that has had both D09c and D05 on backhand, and that blade works like perfectly. No issues!
I wish I had the cuttings from my Tenergy's so I could experiment with what works but it came made up from the place I ordered it (btw, they said it was simple to remove Free Chack II, pack of bullsh1t).
If you still have cuttings from your rubbers I'd experiment on those to see what will work for your combination of rubber and glue. Or if you can get your hands on someone's new cuttings that might be an option to experiment.
If the surface looks smooth when you remove it I think reglueing over the top is the safest option given my recent experience, your experience of glue removal might be better.
Things I've tried on Tenergy -
Free Chack II
1) Rubbing with finger - crap, takes ages, can rip the sponge
2) Rubbing with a ball - crap, takes ages, can rip the sponge but it felt less likely to do so that using a finger
3) Heating up with an iron - no difference at all
4) White Spirits (Solvent) - made the glue into a sticky mess, not convinced it didn't change the playing characteristics of the rubber, easier to remove than without, less likely to rip the sponge.

Same experience as everything above. It does seem to come off easily by just rubbing on Tibhar sponges that I've tried so far.
I'm keeping all my cuttings from now on to find the right sponge glue combo's. These things are far too expensive to be one use when you're still trying to find a good setup.
