How to Glue Sponge Rubbers to Your Table Tennis Blade

How would I paste my new table tennis rubbers onto my sharpened steel?

This is a standout amongst the most well-known inquiries asked by new ping-pong players. Furthermore with great reason, since table tennis rubbers aren't shoddy, and you would prefer not to destroy a rubber by committing an error when attempting to append it to your edge, isn't that right?

In this article I'm going to walk you through the procedure of sticking a wipe rubber onto your table tennis sharpened steel. I've incorporated a feature exhibiting how I paste my wipe rubbers, so I would propose investigating that first and foremost, since it will make the clarification I've composed beneath less demanding to take after.

The fundamental purpose of the entire methodology is to get a slight layer of paste all in all of the wipe and on the sharpened steel, with the goal that you get great grip between the two surfaces. Do that right and you can't run far off with everything else.

On the off chance that you have old rubbers on the sharpened steel that must be uprooted, peel the old rubbers off the bat corner to corner. Never attempt to expel a rubber vertically (from handle to tip) following its conceivable you may take chips off the razor sharp edge, contingent upon whether the sharpened steel is fixed.

In the event that the razor sharp edge isn't fixed, I would prescribe fixing your sharpened steel first before sticking your new rubbers on.

Wipe the sharpened steel a few times with your hand or a delicate material, so as to evacuate any bits of paste left on the cutting edge - you'll feel the deposit effectively. A bit of delicate rubbing will dispose of any remaining paste.

Put the rubber with the topsheet face down on the table (with a bit of clean paper or plastic to stop the surface grabbing dust). Bear in mind to put some daily paper or plastic on the table to get any spilt paste. At that point simply put the edge on the wipe in the position you would like it to be, and draw round it with a pen or pencil onto the wipe. Verify the logo on the rubber is set beside the handle.

Open the container of paste (any non-speed paste from a reputable table tennis maker will be fine), and a collapsed little bit of paper (or paintbrush in the event that you lean toward), and put some paste on the wipe, spreading it around with the bit of paper. Go a bit outside the blueprint of the razor sharp edge on the wipe, since you never appear to return it precisely inside the framework (in any event I don't!), and you don't need the edges of the rubber to peel up later because of absence of paste. Verify you blanket the entire within the layout with a layer of paste, which will drench into the wipe pretty rapidly.

Take after the same system with the edge, giving the entire sharpened steel a meager blanket of paste. You may need to plot the razor sharp edge a bit against the light to check whether you have missed any spots.

When you have wrapped up the edge, set the wipe back on the sharpened steel, and utilize a roller to tenderly press down on the rubber to verify it is solidly joined. A few players want to hold up until the paste on both the wipe and razor sharp edge is dry, yet I've generally put them once I wrap up the sharpened steel, and I've never had any issues. Don't hesitate to attempt it both ways, and do whatever works for you.

Presently put the racket in a bat clip or under a thick stack of books to keep the rubber pressed solidly on the sharpened steel while the paste dries.

After thirty minutes or thereabouts, cut the overabundance rubber from the cutting edge with a sharp combines of scissors (or a Stanley sharpened steel or leisure activity blade). In the event that you are going to cut the rubber with a blade, verify you have a lot of scrap paper under the racket, so you don't unintentionally cut into your table!

On the off chance that the edges of the rubber have pulled up a bit because of the cutting methodology, set the bat back into the clasp for a couple of minutes to press them down once more.

That is it! Your new rubber is primed to go. In the event that you are wanting to play in an ITTF authorized occasion, give the rubber a few days airing to permit any unlawful VOC's in the paste to vanish. Else you hazard preclusion.
