The two backing sheets are opaque, but the actual adhesive layer in the middle is transparent, so that won't help. Ouch

Hi,
supposedly there is a white glue sheet material made by X-film called montex dx28

Should be possible to find online somewhere - if not, pm
Best regards

Got a question about glue sheets, but slightly off-topic because it's not about the transparency.

On the BH I play with TSP curl p4 (now in 0,5 but can be ox or thicker as well) and on the FH with either Xiom Vega Pro, Xiom Vega Japan or Adidas P7 (can be in either 1.8, 2.0 or 2.2).

Now everybody knows that long pips in general work better on harder/slower blades.

I do play a Donic Defplay with curl P4 0.5mmon the BH side and Vega Japan on the FH side.
This works out great for my pips BH but not on my FH. Even with other rubber on the FH I don't get the perfect feeling.

I also have a different blade; the Adidas Hypertouch which is soft but rigid blade and a lot faster.
Works great on my FH with Vega pro 1.8 or P7 1.8 mm but does not work well with the long pips (currently trying the same curl P4 0.5 mm) on my BH. When hitting a bit harder the sponge bottoms out and the ball 'hits' the wood'. With the fast and bouncy blade the ball tends to fly everywhere.

But since my game is 65% FH spin I want to change from the Defplay to the Hypertouch if possible.
So I could your advice how to make it work.

One of my ideas is to use a gluesheet (or maybe even 2 gluesheets on top of eachother). I was thinking that applying 1 or 2 gluesheets will give the blade the desired harder and slower feel on the BH side.

Another idea is to go up in sponge thickness. Normally that will make that blade side faster but when using a curl P4 1.5 mm the sponge does not bottom out that quickly with 'harder hits' thus less change of 'hitting the wood', thus less change of incontrollable effects because of the fast bouncy soft blade.

Or a 3rd option.... combining both options above.

What do you think?

Best regards, Barry

Rec'd Air Glue Sheet from Cole (thx cole :) ) last week; it is a white glue sheet.
When u order it from Cole, just ask him to check the glue sheet for u ( I got a transparent Air glue sheet last year).

I have used some other glue sheets that stick like no tomorrow.  So a layer of rubber cement would lessen the bond of the glue sheet to the blade?  That's a nice trick to know; thanks for sharing.

wow, great tip on the layer of glue first.  I've never seen a glue sheet that DIDN'T stick pretty hard if you left it on long enough.

The Nittaku and Butterfly glue sheets can be peeled off the blade quite easily.  They have different gluing strengths on both sides - less glue on the side attached to blade and stronger bond on side attached to rubber.  Most glue sheets that come attached to an OX sheet are usually quite strong and hard to peel off.

Recommend the Gewo clean stick glue sheets,less sticky on the side that goes on the blade,it stays on the ox lp sheet when you peel it off not the blade, nb:not non transparent though!

Just an update on the air glue sheet.
A layer of rubber cement will not help it. If you want a non-transparent glue sheet, you need to assure it is not a paper-like glue sheet; Air non-transparent glue sheet is a paper-like glue sheet. It is a COMPLETE nightmare to get it off the blade AND the rubber, spend ~ 1 hour to peel the glue sheet (small piece by small piece) off my blade and I still have no idea on what to do with that big piece of glue sheet stuck on my LP ox CryCryCryCry
