Tips on glueing inverted on long pips racket

[Antiqueblade]

Hi,

I have glued inverted rubbers before and used to stack the newly glued rubber and blade between a large stack of heavy books for many hours before playing, it has worked good.

Now i have changed to long pips on backhand and was thinking that maybe it is not a good idea to stack the racket with books when glueing a new inverted on forehand, i noticed that the long pips on backhand was bendning under the pressure, so i would be glad to get some of your tips on how to glue a new inverted rubber on a blade that has longs pips already attached.

Thank you,

Kind regards,
Niklas

Just glue it, use roller or ur own hand and its ready lol

Yeah, i tried that and the forehand rubber domed up in the middle and then came loose, maybe i need a better glue.
Any other tips from players with long pips? The rubber becomes useless if the pips bends or get broken at the base.

Are you wet gluing or dry gluing? If you rolled on the rubber using dry method it should not come back up

Hi, i was dry glueing, but i read now that 2 or more layers of glue should be used on inverted so i will try that and also roll it without putting weight or books on top after.
Thank you

2 to 3 layers of glue on the sponge.
so it does seem like glue job user error.
other issue could be old glue.

and yeah, you don't need to stack on books.

Sounds like not enough glue, so apply a little bit more and see how it works

Glue inverted sheet prior to lp.

Glue inverted rubber first, then glue the pips
