How to use Water-based Glue (WBG)

Hi PingSkills

I've just glued my rubber with WBG (Nittaku FineZip 50) and the result is... Terrible! The rubber have some bubble on it and I think it's not good

You also know that WBG is more expensive and makes a lot of people suffer if they don't know how to glue it properly

So can you please have a video on how to use WBG as the video on "How to use speed glue" is no longer allowed as the speed glue is banned

Please help us

Thank you

Hi Frendy,

Take a look at this lesson we have on replacing rubber using water based glue.

http://www.pingskills.com/table-tennis/equipment-lessons/replacing-your-rubber/

So when the time to re-glued? Can I still use the rubber with some bubble on it?

It depends on whether the bubble is under the sponge or between the sponge and the rubber.

If it is under the sponge it will be fine. If it is between the sponge and the rubber then it will need to be replaced.

I see...

Anyway, in the video you use paper to wipe the glue evenly when other people use sponge to wipue

So which one is better? If I use sponge, can I use it repeatly?

And may I know what WBG you use? They said that every glue only match for some rubbers

All water based glue is OK for all rubbers.

I think a sponge is better but you can use a piece of card as well. You could try rinsing out the sponge in water and see if it works.
