I guess that I was surprised that nobody took me up on my original offer. I just wanted to explain my offer again and see if anybody would respond. If somebody wants some of the bolts, the price isn't really that important to me. I just wanted to offer to help some other people out.


As far as building your own press...I know at least 2 people who have done this. I know that it isn't that difficult but I guess that I am too lazy. Plus, who else would spend $40 on top of the original $24 just so the press will open wider.


The wood on the Clicky Press seems pretty stiff. Do you think or have other people said that it doesn't provide even pressure at the center? To me, my regluing has been alot more consistent since I got the press. When I used to do it without a press, I would get about 1 out of 5 bad glue jobs that had to be redone.

Cool. I am glad we are ok.

I do remember someone in this forum mentioning that his/hers Cliky Press didn't provide enough pressure in the center as the two pieces of boards bend around the center. Do you find the same problem with your Clicky?

I have the same problem if I tighten the bottom side bolts too much.  If you loosen thema bit they don't bend as much.

Sean, a quick question. When your Clicky Press bends does it affect the glue job in any way? I was wondering when tightening the bottom side bolts as you described does the Clicky Press start to bulge in or around the center part. I am just looking for a few ideas to improve my current design. Thanks in advance.

If I crank the bottom bolt as tight as possible it does effect  the glue job.  But if tighten it up just firm all the way around to the point where it only bends slightly then it does not effect the glue job.  At that point it applies a more even pressure on the rubber.

Hello SDRamones...When I started this thread, I was also going to ask some questions about the Clicky Press but I didn't want to make the thread too complicated.

For the best glue job, I was wondering...How tight should you make the press?  I make it barely firm but not too tight.  After you apply the glue and put it in the press, how long do you let it sit in the press before you use it?  Also, I have seen people return their racket to their presses (Clicky and homemade) between matches.  Does this help the glue effect last longer?

For the best glue job, I leave it on a minimum of 60 minutes since apply the glue to both the sponge and blade with a light coat and let air dry a little bit already.  Since I speed glue, I don't let it stand too long before use. 

One thing I did notice on newer or tacky rubbers is that I need to put a plastic protective sheet on the rubber before I insert the rubber in the Clicky Press.  I do this because the rubber sticks to the press and sometimes it won't release.  So if I put the protective sheet it prevents this sticking.  If it sticks it will pull the rubber and the sponge away from the blade surface.  Prettty much screwing up your glue job.

I use Tibhar Rapid Clean and Stiga Carbon Speed Glue. I put 3 layers of speed glue on the sponge and 1 layer on the blade. To get a decent glue job I would have to leave it in the press (homemade) for about 35 min at least. If I am in a hurry I will put regular contact cememt near and around the edge, then in this case 25 min or so will be enough. I usually tighten up the bolts in the press to the max. I always use the protective film on the rubbers before putting blade into the press.

Can you guys post a few pictures of the bolts used in the real Clicky Press? superloop has mentioned it before that it's a special bolt that will not turn as the cap or nut is being screwed on. I'm very curious about it.

Thanks!

Hello GenonimicsKnight...Below is a generic picture of a carriage bolt that I found on the internet.  It is like the ones on the Clicky press but not the actual ones.  The head of the bolt is smooth and there is a short square section down near the head of the bolt.  The hole in the bottom piece of wood on the Clicky press is square so the bolt won't twist when you tighten the wingnuts on the top of the bolt.  I had to special order the metric carriage bolts that were 10mm longer so that my new Tanpan blade that is 9mm thick would fit into the press.
