If you live in the US then Hobby Lobby, Michaels or any other crafts store. I would suggest Best-Test rubber cement. $8 for 250mL.

I understand that Elmer's or Best-Test are noticeably thicker than specialized TT glue like Tibhar Individual or Nittaku Dine? Perhaps they need to be thinned out with smth? ------------- Single Ply Hinoki Club, Founding Member Say "no!" to expensive table tennis equipment. Please... |

No, water won't mix with glue. It has to be some mild solvent. ------------- Single Ply Hinoki Club, Founding Member Say "no!" to expensive table tennis equipment. Please... |

the stores usually sell a thinner next to the rubber cement. I lightly varnish my blades so that the plys don't tear off.

I might have goofed on this but it is my very firm suspicion that oil-based chemicals (glues, for instance) and water do not mix... ever spilled some gasoline into a bucket of water or a puddle?

Yeah... this sounds like a good plan. Or perhaps, one should mix some PO with Elmer's and get smth like a glue-tuner...? ------------- Single Ply Hinoki Club, Founding Member Say "no!" to expensive table tennis equipment. Please... |

I just didn't want to state that as an absolute fact - after all, I am not a chemistry major... and who knows what super marvelous achievements have been made in chemistry for the last 20 years or so... ------------- Single Ply Hinoki Club, Founding Member Say "no!" to expensive table tennis equipment.

Seems that the more proper combination would be to prime the sponge first with a very light layer of Elmer's and then use PO for tuning. ------------- Single Ply Hinoki Club, Founding Member Say "no!" to expensive table tennis equipment. Please... |
