Old speed glue is much cheaper than the current water based glue. You can use it like the water-based glue (you don't have to reglue often, it's just because of the speed-glue effect), but if you want to use boosters water based is way better.
So, do you want water-based or old glue?
Using speed glue as regular water based glue, does it give a good glue job? Do you know what the shelf life of speed glue is?
Speed glue causes what ever rubber you use to expand. At a certain point, after it is glued, it will shrink. The time frame is between 2 days and 2 weeks. Then you have a rubber that is much smaller than your blade.
The expanding is much more significant with tensor type rubbers. With Chinese rubbers it will still expand, but not as much.
If you want your rubbers to be the right size for your blade, don't use speed glue. If you don't care, speed glue is fine.
But it seems a bit silly. The Water Based glues can be bought in small amounts. I had a 90ml bottle of Donic Vario Clean that lasted me 2+ years and glued at least 20+ rubbers. You use less glue with the WB glues. So they are not as expensive as they seem.
But if money is really tight, look for TearMender. It is the same basic thing as many WB glues and it is very inexpensive. There is another version of the same thing that they sell in Europe. I can't remember the name. But someone else will supply the name.
It works. I like Vario Clean better for me. But TearMender is easier to remove.
Another TT Glue that a lot of people seem to like is Revolution No3. You can get that in small sizes, even 30ml. Someone else on here will probably be happy to explain what makes that glue so good.
2+ years, that's pretty impressive. I have the impression that a lot of glues won't be good anymore after such a period of time. After 2 years, did the color of the glue change at all?
The European TearMender equivalent you're referring to is called Copydex.

Shelf life of speed glue is the same as of VOC-free - 4-5 months once opened.
Also can't agree on this. That's not my experience. Actually i find it much harder removing speedglue from a rubber's sponge....and it's easier to remove the glue layer.
Speed glue is easy to use, cheap and reliable. Just be sure that you glue in a well ventilated area, because VOCs aren't healthy.

With finezip or Revolution 3 i just can peel it off, with speedglue this won't work.
But by accident i found out that by pouring a few drops of oil on the sponge sg can be removed with much less hassle.
I looked up Tearmender and everything seems alright other than the fact that it says permanent bond in the description. It also says that if I don't want a permanent bond, then I should mix it with a 1:5 ratio with water. So can someone who has used it help me out? Do I have to dilute it to use with my rubber's and blade?Speed glue causes what ever rubber you use to expand. At a certain point, after it is glued, it will shrink.
