Subject: Eucalyptus oil for speed glue?
Date Posted: 12/21/2007 at 11:08pm
| There is a guy in Australia claimed that Eucalyptus oil can have great speed glue effect. And once applied, it can last very long and almost like the homemade tensor sponge. Has anyone ever heard or tried it? I know Eucalyptus oil is very common in Australia and there are quite a few forum members in Australia. Any input would be appreciated. |

I find that claim a little hard to believe... apart from that the smell would be very strong

I suppose it is applied on the rubber ? Then it is good for preventing the rubber from catching cold  Anyhow, why not give it a try on an old rubber ? ------------- Member of the Single Ply Hinoki Club Viscaria Super ALC C-Pen Rasanter C48 |

That guy tried on several rubber sheets. This picture I believe is the blue sponge hurricane from haggisv. He applied several thin coat on the sponge (just like when you apply the speed glue), then use regular glue to glue to the blade.  |

Could you give me a link that shows eucalyptus oil has d-limonene in it?
That guy uses 100% pure eucalyptus oil and said its speed glue effect lasts for weeks. Why d-limonene in eucalyptus oil would last for weeks while it could only last for hours if it is in the regular speed glue?

Do you have to try and glue it when its curled up like a burrito or do you wait until the rubber settles back to flat to glue it to your blade??? I have always just fix glued but wanna do some Holiday experiments!

That guy said the rubber won't settle back to flat for weeks. When you glue it to the blade, use the kind of glue that sticks better and you have to use some heavy book to press it down for 10 or 20 minutes.

Here is what happened with Nano Cannon,,, Three coats and the rubber was a tube. This only took about 30 minutes. Then I put one coat on the topsheet. The dome started going the other way. So fast you could watch it go. In 2 hours, the sheet was almost flat. I put one more coat on and it went into a reverse dome so it looked like a taco. The next morning I put more on the sponge and in ten minutes the sheet was flat again. Then I glued it on the blade. It is MUCH faster and the spin is better. It clicks VERY loud. I had the same thing happen with Energy. Looking at the sheet, I think you might have to use 2m sponge to stay legal. The top and sponge really swell up. Different rubbers will probably react differently to this stuff but so far, I think it equals any tuner out there.  |

Hi Pong,,, I glued it on and felt the edges. They were solid but I still put it in a clicky press for 30 minutes. This stuff soaks in real fast and does not feel oiley like EEII. It will take alot more experimenting but so far, this looks good. I like how fast it works. The topsheet after treatment feels just slightly less grippy. About one hour later it is more grippy than new. (at least with Nano Cannon and Energy) I am waiting to hear results with different hardness sponges. Never know,,, maybe the topsheet will seperate from the sponge. Have to test more. There is no data that I know of on this stuff yet. |

Hi GenomicsK, This stuff does not have to dry. It soaks into the sponge or topsheet in just a few minutes at the most. Maximum dome has happened in less than 30 minutes for me on the rubbers I used. I glued one sheet on 10 minutes after I applied the oil. It is different than EEII, thinner. Does not seem to reduce the bond from glue. The brand is "Now Foods" The brand should not matter much if it is double distilled. |

@Hookshot Thanks for the valuable information. One more question: is this oil odorless? If not, how bad the smell is it? |
Posted By: tommyzai
Date Posted: 01/08/2008 at 12:54am
Genomics, I can answer this question, if Hookshot doesn't mind. It has a strong smell, but it's very nice. It's like Vicks Vapor Rub or Menthol in cough drops. I like it. It's used to clear congestion and as a body rub so it's very healthy. It's not a bad strong smell, IMO it's a good strong smell! ------------- For More Info, PM or Email me: [email protected] |

If tree sap fails that might mean blades can no longer be made of wood, which is fine by me because I designed a new line of blades made from animal fertilizer. I call them Poopoozoo.

This is anything but clear until a rubber drenched in E-oil has been tested in ENEZ detectors. I've just read on a German tt-forum that pure E-oil contains an organic solvent named "cineol" that is being used as an industrial solvent. It is also said that this is a volatile organic solvent, but the question is if the gas pressure of this VOC is within the forbidden margin or if it's below = compliant with the new ITTF rules. Somebody from Switzerland tried a E-treated rubber in a ENEZ detector and the result was negative. So E-oil should be OK, but this person didn't want to give details about the test at the moment because something strange happened during his tests. He'll report more after further tests. |

I tried the Eucalyptus oil and the only thing i don't like is the smell, seems like it will never be gone once it's applied
any one has experiece with Tea tree oil? it seems very similar, e.g both can blow up and kill gems, and both are natural "voc". It may work too.

Hi there,
For those of you really interested in knowing more about this subject I found these article that explains the properties and components of eucalyptus oil. I haven't read it yet, but while browsing I saw some interesting things. I hope it's useful for some or most of you. This is the link, it's a MS Word document.

Was your Nano Cannon brand new or used? If it was used, was it heavily glued? I am just curious if the effect you saw was strictly due to the Eucalyptus oild or due to the combination of the oil reacting with the glue that was already there. In addition, it was amazing that the E-oil would be absorbed through the topsheet and straighten out the rubber the way you described it. Sounds very interesting. I will have to try it soon.

Hi Flicker,,, It was used but never speed glued. Same with the Energy. Tried it on another Energy now that had been EEII and the results were the same. I am waiting for some new rubber to come in and see how it does on Venus. It is amazing to be able to see the sheet change shape. I mean, you can watch it move! The stuff soaks into topsheets like magic. Dissappears completely. The sponge expands slower but the topsheets , things happen like "right now". |

Hi All! I was reading comments about Eucalyptus oil, I bought some today. Several hours ago I put some coats of oil on my old Bryce, and I was surprised about the result. It is really works! But do not put the oil close to the edges, because it's very hard to glue. I have a robot in my house and I was trying my old Bryse with the eucalyptus oil and it works. I don't have any idea how long the rubber will be soft. I will let you know later. The oil is $5.60. It smells ok, but you can buy it in orange, or lemon scents! The speed optimizer is $25.00. You can save lots of money. I have a picture of the rubber with the eucalyptus oil on it, but I do not know how to download pictures to this forum. If somebody wants to see it, I can send an e-mail with the picture. Good luck! http://www.smileycentral.com/?partner=ZSzeb001_ZJxdm128YYUS"> http://smiley.smileycentral.com/download/index.jhtml?partner=ZSzeb112_ZJxdm128YYUS&utm_id=7920"> |

It looks like it really works. Could you guys report back how long the speed glue effect could last?
One other thing, the guy that found this method refers it as 355 oil (his screen name on ttball forum is 355). Can you guys name this method after him (even though he is still alive
)? |

@Hookshot & railroad Did you guys dilute the Eucalyptus oil with something else before applying to the rubber or just directly out the bottle in its original form? Thanks. |
