Bubble in the rubber

Kristian Veselinov Asked 6 years ago

Hello Alois! I bought a new rubber for my premade bat - Mark V HPS. The problem is that after putting it a little air bubble appeared in the left bottom corner. I tought that I hadnt put enough glue there so I removed half of the rubber, put glue, pressed hard and waited near 5 hours to dry well. But after all the air bubble appeared again. I think there could be a problem with the blade surface there and the glue just cant stick to it. What shall I do to remove the bubble? Thanks in advance!

Hi Kristian,

First check that the bubble isn't between the rubber and the sponge.  Push the top of the rubber together and see if it is attached properly to the sponge.  If not then the rubber is defective and you should return it.

If it is a bubble between the sponge and the blade then try to roll it on when you are attaching it.  If you feel that there may be something on the blade you can use a little sandpaper to rub it gently before re-gluing.
