Which Glue?

Which glue should i use to stick a Dawei Inspirit Quattro to a 5 ply wood blade?

I have the following glues to use:

1. DHS 15 Water Based Glue
2. Butterfly Free Chack
3. Haifu Blue Whale 2 Speed Glue

The wordings on the packing states not to over glue so i am guessing option 3 is out unless someone has tried it successfully.

When you mention putting several layers on the blade, you mean put one layer on the blade then let it dry and then put another layer? Haifu goes on quite thick but becomes very thin once it dries.

I had this problem with a Sriver EL when i tried gluing with Haifu. I put 1 layer and after it dried, i put another layer and once i got to my 3rd layer of glue, the rubber started to dome and it was hard to attach it to the blade because it was curling up.

But i notice that once the glue on the rubber dries up, the doming decreased. Perhaps my mistake was trying to attach the rubber when glue had not dried up enough or i applied another layer before the previous layer dried up.

Any advice?

I ended up spoiling a brand new Sriver EL because of my inexperience.

I have not used the haifu glue, but most speed glues tend top be thinner than normal glue..

Yes put 1 layer on, wait for it to be touch dry, then another layer...

I recommend put several layers on the blade ONLY, instead of the rubber, because it's much safer for the rubber this way, and the issue you had with the sriver EL is much less likely to happen...

Softer ones are more easily damaged, as the VOCs can penetrate the sponge more easily, and reach the topsheet where it can do damage or dislodge the topsheet from the sponge...

With water based glue, there is normally no need to use more than one layer on each...

I've used Haifu Blue Whale II on Dawei's IQUL on a Stiga Clipper CR. Worked perfectly, except Clipper CR is known for not gluing well with rubbers. For me, I had to use fine sand paper to sand down the blade prior to gluing the rubber down. As Haggisv said, put one layer at a time, and make sure it drys between each layer. I put 3 layers of Haifu on the rubber and 1 on the blade. Worked fine.

The instructions on the bottle would be for speed gluing, since it's a speed glue... Since you're not wanting to speed glue but simply gleu the rubber ot the blade (coz of overgluing issues), the procedure is different...
