Rubber cement

Can anyone explain the steps to gluing with rubber cement? do i have to put it on both rubber and blade? Rubber cement is pretty cheap! one bottle only 3 dolllars

     Yes.  Then wait for it to dry completely( won't take ore than 15 miutes).  When you put it together, make sure everything is aligned properly. Once the surfaces touch, they're stuck, if you mess up just remove the rubber and start over( with more glue).

how do you turn teh glop back into liquid? theres only one office max in new york while i can get the small elmers bottle next door.

Rubber cement can stick rubber to blade. It is better not to use it because it will solidy the rubber and the performanace of high tension will vanish. You pay over USd30-50 for a rubber and use cheap rubber to damage your pro balde and rubber? Is it worthy????

The rubbers, even the most modern ones, are manufactured using VOCs and some of hte old style rubber cement.  I haven't heard of any that are damaged by using plain rubber cement.  That said, speed glue, with its more exotic solvents may damage the newer rubber.   It just depends on the formulation.  Chemistry is chemistry, physics is physics.  The laws of both apply.  Just because its table tennis, doesn't change the laws of either chemistry or physics.

rubber cement is widely used in our counrty. best brand is maruni, a jap product! 

most of the modern rubbers still plays better with speed glue, with teh exception of tenergy. but yea ima stick to speed glue era equipment lol

I use Bestine Rubber Cement thinner along with the OD $5 pint rubber cement.

So make it into speed glue. Just add thinner. The more you add, the more it domes.

Hardware shop. Paint shop.

Dont use paint thinner.  Use Rubber Cement thinner because it is N-Heptane based.  Go to an art store and look for the Best brand thinner.

There have been a few people whom have reported damaging Tenergy with the use of Speed Glues.  Chemical reaction to the sponge....  Not sure about using Rubber Cement with Tenergy, even though the VOC's are much lower than speed glue. 

Sorry for posting in a really old topic but where SPECIFICALLY in Manila or QC can I get some Maruni? Please don't say "any bike shop" because I checked three bike shops already none of which have Maruni or any other rubber cement. None in Trinoma or SM North either.

I buy my rubber cement in NBS but it's pretty expensive (130php for 180ml).

Thanks.

I don't know now you get to experiment :)
