A few key points:
- Try to pull the glue off of the rubber where you can, avoid rubbing unless absolutely necessary.
- The more layers of glue you apply to the sponge, the easier the removal of the glue layer will be later.
- Tear Mender is the cheapest and easiest to obtain, but most elastic water-based glues will work for this technique.
Wow, I gave this a try and what a relief. I now have a method to remove the glue from my rubbers. Works great so far, thank you so much for posting this.
This works really well. Saved my d09c. I bought the same brand glue mentioned in the video on Amazon (6oz/117 ml for 11 dollars) I have to apply two layers, apply generously don’t be cheap. One layer is fine, but it breaks when you peel. Two layers, thick enough to peel without breaking and easier to find a starting point. I used half bottle for the blade and its two sides of rubber.
I wondered if that would work; glad I found this video. Another way is to use an old golf ball, after removing the white plastic coating; this leaves a ball of rubber band which will let you roll all the old glue off in minutes.
Careful not to use heat from hair dryer. Use only cold air. Heat will burst the air pockets inside the sponge. You will miss every shot after that.
I wondered why Ovcharov said not to use a hairdryer when putting skins on his racqets.
@@RogerThat1945 Using is fine, just do it from afar or set it to cold as the guy mentioned it before, that'd be fine even if Otchi will tell you otherwise, using a air dryer set to cold is like blowing on it except that'd be even worse for the rubber because you spit on it lol xd
I screwed up a previous glueing, so i wanted to start over. This saved me from throwing the rubber away. Thank you!
Omg thank you ! This video helped me ! I was panicking after trying to glue my first blade thank you Alfred for sending me this lifesaver
would I be able to use this on the wood? to remove the foam stuck on my blade?
Steven. What glue did you use to glue the rubber to the blade in the first place?
I used Donic Clean water based.... then added a couple thickish layers. This glue just does not seem very elastic. I tried it with a little extra and a lot extra. No go with Donic glue. Please let me know what glue you use to glue it to the bat???? I would really appreciate the advise. Great video! Thanks for the sources too. I'll get some.

Sorry this reply is 5 years late, I'm just now rebuilding this channel 😅. I used Nittaku Finzeip originally, although these days I use DHS #15 glue.
Brilliant. Do you use that same glue to glue your rubber onto racket?
How much difference is there if you don’t take off the old glue and just reglue anyway?
1. Increased weight to be considered.
2. Over time I find the glue loses a degree of it's snap. The old glue gets harder, less elastic as it gradually hardens. New glue seemingly gives it a boost - the legal kind.
Without having seen your video, I was using the exact same method! What are the odds....
Dont forget to put the item on top of your expensive tablet cover or portfolio case before working on it.
Wow! Great video. This video really helped me out. Keep up the great work!
Tear mender is just an adhesive right? Could I use any other adhesive or do I need Tear Mender ?
Any
Liquid latex also works very well.
Great method. Thanks for sharing.
Very useful video. Thank you so much.
Does any effect to your existing sponge rubber?
Can u use tear mender to glue new rubbers on new blade. No varnish on blade. Iz tear mender is alternative of rubber glue or you all just uae it to romove old glue but not to glue new rubber on new blade
Val no
How about using this to stick the rubber as well?
It works, but tearmender dries harder than most table tennis glues. I didn't like it as much as DHS 15 or Finezip for actually assembling rackets.
@@stevenchen4352 I find alot of glues just dont hold the rubber down, especially if the rubber has a curl to it. What do you think is the strongest glue? have you tried Free chack 2? Thanks for responding btw
Thank you for posting this video.
you probably dont care but if you're stoned like me atm you can watch pretty much all of the latest series on instaflixxer. I've been binge watching with my gf during the lockdown =)
@Brett Benicio Yup, have been using InstaFlixxer for months myself :D
would this work on the ply of the bat as well... as i want to put on a new rubber on there and its covered in this old glue. Thanks.
Did you find out?
can we use that material and apply the same principal for wood blade?
Hi Petrus, I don't recommend using this method on the blade, because exposing the wood to excess moisture will degrade the blade over time - I feel it is best to avoid unnecessary applications of glue to the bare wood when not attaching rubbers to preserve the lifespan of the blade.
If there is glue residue stuck on the wood, you can use a wide piece of tape (such as from shipping/packing tape, gaffers tape, or masking tape --- I don't recommend duct tape however, as it leaves behind residue) and use the sticky side to easily brush the residual latex and other debris off of the blade surface. Hope this helps!
@@StevenChenTableTennis thanks Steven..
can the same trick be used to remove glue from a blade?
I Don't think that this is necessary in the Blade.
It is Really, Really easy to remove the glue in the Blade, and it can be done in 1 minute or so.
You can use your hand, too.
Be Careful if your Blade is not Sealed.
So clearly you recommend sealing your bat. Mine is not, so removing glue is quite the process. I just feel that the rubber is not as sticky with a sealed surface.
@@bakervinci163 Try a ball of rubber (take the skin off an old golf ball); then roll it over the glue you need to remove.
Will this method work on the blade too?
Yes, works great on my blade
Thanks brother
very good method 😎
I hope the guy who does the rubber on my paddles watches this video and knows what he's doing :P
I like this secondhand rubber
does not work
But why would you even keep a used rubber with old glue on it?
Some people try different rubbers on different blades before settling with a final setup... and others never finalize their setup lol
Yeh, a guy I train with has a new rubber( diff) every week. He would rather change rubber than train. Glenn......

I use a table tennis ball to remove this glue.
