Speed Glue

I have to say, it was a pain.  I don't miss that part.

I am almost tempted to get an old sheet of rubber and glue it up just so I can remind myself what it feels like.  After 5 years I wonder if my memories are accurate or if I would even like it anymore.  But if memory serves, I liked it a lot and it definitely made a difference in the way I played, but not on every shot.  Problem is that I don't actually have any rubbers around the house where it would be likely to produce any sort of optimum effect.

So I mixed: Rubber cement 30%

just boosted a provincial h3 I had with "drstringfellow" + "haifu whale" speed glue.
first time this rubber is boosted but it's already much softer and bouncier, almost like an euro rubber.
spin also increased!

Fabric softener you put in your washing machine to make clothes smell nice and fresh. Apparently, they have aerosol version that can be used as an air freshener. Not sure if this is a healthy practice.

No.  Go find some rubber vucanizer at an auto parts store.

This is the stuff right?

They sell it at auto part stores, O'Rielly and Advanced Auto both stock it in my area. Gonna have to order some cheap 729 rubber or something and give it a try.

Question....do you apply it just like normal glue? One layer on rubber, one layer on blade, let dry and stick it on
