Tabletennis11 lacquering

[Nilsragnar]

Hi!

I've been thinking about getting some new blades from tabletennis11. Now, I've ordered from them before so I know they're. They do offer to lacquer the blades for free. The question is, does anybody have experience with ordering sealed blades from tabletennis11? Is it well done or is it better to just seal the blades myself?

Thanks!

I have seen no issues with my blade

mine was laquered, no problem so far.

it just darkened the wood color a little... it doesn't add thickness to it and it feels smooth,

when i remove the rubber 95% of the glue stays on the sponge, the wood surface keeps itself clean, no need to grind

Very good company, but I would seal it yourself.

They did my DHS Hurricane Long 3 and the quality is great, doesn't look shiny like lacquer but matte, oily, smooth. I suppose it slightly darkens the wood as to be expected. Removing rubbers for reboost is super easy and as previously mentioned glue stays on the rubber 95% of it. In fact I was planning recently to email them and ask them what they use to seal the blades as I wanted to do a throw away blade the same way so I can make rubbers quick releaseable but without the surface being lacquer shine as it can be harder to to attach boosted rubbers. I never got around it but somebody mentioned Wipe On Polyurethane being similar.

Great question and comments. I got a "Hurricane Long 5" from them and it was lacquered (as that is a free option from them). I was concerned because it shipped out pretty quick. I'm not a wood guy but I've got some experience as I've worked in a ply-board manufacturing plant. The time it shipped made me concerned because I didn't feel like the blade has time to dry from being lacquered. Note they could have a bunch of blades already done to fill orders which have expedited delivery. But the blade I got has started splintering... So bad that I'm about to order another one and just use the splintered one for practice and testing rubbers out.

Question: What is a good lacquer and are there any reasons I should be concerned with blade testing?

I'm also playing with a pre laquered hurricane 5 long blade from tabletennis11. No problem with splintering here. You can try to contact them. Or just use a thin layer of blanc laquer to cover the damage spots.

I could have hit the table with the blade. I have that happen some times. That could have started the splintering. But now, whenever I change the rubber I can see a bit of wood peeling off the blade. "Blanc lacquer", is that the brand name?

No just transparant laquer for wood
