Re-sealing a blade for each new sheet?

[BaRanchik]

I use Joola's sealant (2 layers per side), and was wondering if I should reapply the sealant if I plan to change rubbers?
I don't want to make the blade harder, but also don't want it to chip.
What do you guys do with your own blades?

With the newer water based glue, I never seal my blades.

I change rubbers every 3-6 months, depending on how much I play - I've never had an issue with blades chipping (just be careful when removing the old rubbers).

I know people who do seal their blades, but it's usually just a one time thing - Not every time you change rubbers.

I've already had (very slight) chipping with Butterfly's glue before, so I started sealing brand new blades.

OK, it'll all come down to personal preference, but I would be very surprised if people sealed their blades more than once.

I use Joola varnish myself, 2 layers with a few hours in between. Never had to re-seal blades. Recently I read about people just using high grit sandpaper (1500+) to polish the blade surface a little, it doesn’t take off much material, even the printings on the blade won’t fade, might give that a try with my next purchase.

No need to re-seal. Do it properly the first time. 1 thin layer should be enough. Rough the surface a little bit with a sand paper first.

I just applied and removed layers of glue from my blade 4 times due to uneven and bad glueing, would it havr affected my sealer on my blade?

Not if it the old glue was removed nice and gently, You should be able to see this on You blade.

You only need to reapply if you're "sealing" with hairspray

I seal with the same Joola sealant which you have mentioned. I find that I can reseal the blade after 3-4 rubber changes and I do not apply more than 1 layer to the blade.

Funny I had exactly the same thought! That may well be where the idea came from.
