So I was gluing my rubbers today. Having a hard time making the glue sit very evenly without creating small lines with the sponge. Also bubbles happened on the rubber sponge part. and small little sand size grainy things. And if you take too long to apply your getting areas already dried and it will crumble if applying further.
I ended up with an ok result int he end however I had a few thoughts:
1) Why not assemble the rubber and racket while the glue is still wet? then put a little pressure on it with a flat board evenly. I imagine the glue would flatten out as its still fluid. this way the glue would be 100% evenly applied.
It would dry out by itself over a short period of time anyway.
?
2) Has anyone tried dropping using sponges for application and use a paint brush instead? Im imagining it would be easier for an even application?
3) this is an unrelated question to glueing but why is it even time I add the protection side tape around the whole rubber/blade side the rubber feels somehow more "muffled" during play? The less tape the better. Doesnt make any sense but I can clearly feel the difference. Thank you.
