Whenever I buy new rubbers for my blade, the shop owner always puts a plastic sheet onto the black rubber. What is it meant for and am I supposed to put the plastic sheet back onto the rubber?

Hi Jasper,

If it is a stiff plastic sheet you can use it as a rubber protector.  This helps to keep the dust off the rubber while you are not using it.  Especially if you have a tacky surface on the rubber this can be useful.
