Rubber unable to stick on to blade

[junjun0857]

Hi all,

I've bought a new Stiga clipper. I glued my rubber to both side of my blades using Donic Vario Clean. However while I was training, I noticed my I was unable to grip the ball with my forehand. I felt that something is wrong and pulled out my rubber. I was shocked that the rubber wasn't sticked to the blade. I've tried to paste it again and got the same result. The glue remained on the blade and wasn't stuck on the sponge. I've glued many rubbers before and this is the first time I've such problem..

Oh yes I've forgotten to mention, it was for my forehand side. My backhand side is alright. The rubber I'm using is Tibhar Evolution MX-P.

Should I sand my forehand side abit? Any advise would be helpful .

PS : Pardon me for my poor english

That is a weird problem. Can you post some pictures so we can analyze it?

How many layers of glue did you put on the sponge? How many layers of glue did you put on the wood?

tibhar evolution mx-p. So many people I know with this same issue on the rubber. Maybe because it's pretty porous.


Anyway, just add a couple more layers than usual on the rubber. After gluing one layer let it dry, then glue another and let dry, then repeat. easy solution. I use nittaku finezip glue with 2 layers on rubber and one on blade. but they're also pretty thick layers.

I've tried pasting it on other blade and did not had this problem

okay, then add another layer or two to the blade. Nexy blades are generally a lot harder to get to stick so I had to have more glue on them when I used them. It's a common problem. Just add more glue until you can feel that it's enough.

When the glue dries you can touch it and feel if it's sticky or not. Let it dry and then lightly run your finger over the blade and rubber and make sure both are sticky all around with a good amount on each. Then put them together.

Thanks for your advise, but what do you mean by nexy blade? I've tried to google it and it's a brand.

Maybe use more glue? or maybe glue the rubbers and blade together, and get like two textbooks to act as a clamp to help press them together easier.

yea nexy is a brand that makes extraordinary blades that are pretty unique. they tend to be pretty smooth on the outer ply of wood so it took more glue.

I see, but mine is stiga, just wondering is there any connection to it ?

I'd give Stiga Power Attach a try (I believe it's rebranded Nittaku Finezip). The attachment power of that stuff is immense, even in very thin layers.

Yeah, it sounds like you may need to add another layer or two of glue to the sponge.

Hi all,

I've tried 2 thick layer on the sponge and 1 thick layer on the blade. The bond wasn't very strong at first but I've left it under
some weights for quite a while. Now the feeling is much better, it should be alright now. Thanks alot !!
