hurricane 3 on tenergy

how does it work out

since before tenergy was introduced to the market. my friend and i have found its equivalent to assembled rubber. what i'm pointing out is its sponge. it is the magic red sponge. it has same characteristics. but the difference is it has to be glued. but when you have glued it, i has the same springy feeling.

Why? If you use a good water based glue, you don't have to often peel the rubber off the blade.

I found friendship rubbers just fall apart very easily in hot water too. DHS are stuck harder but still fairly easy. I haven't tried butterfly rubbers

I tried boiling a bryce and a sriver l.
I couldn't separate the topsheet from the sponge in either of them.
I guess butterfly just sticks them too tight.
I could however separate a friendship rubber with that method with no problems.

But that topsheet wasn't tacky anymore so i used a fairly new Skyline3 blue no.21 sponge and that didn't go so well. A lot of sponge came of with the topsheet. I think the sponge was just to soft.   Btw. Is there a way to make my old skyline tacky again??   try some euci oil or spinmax aqua

Thanx for the translation Bossman.

You boil rubber in the water, when its all 100c grab it out (don't do this if  you are a teenager with thin skin :) maybe use tongs if your young and fragile.

Then peel the top sheet off a small amount, it cools very fast so the glue hardens again before you have gone far, then throw it back in the water then repeat until they are seperated. 100c is no where near hot enough to damage rubber or sponge, all it does is soften the glue

Hey next time boil the rubber in a saucepan then remove about an inch or two of the top sheet then stick it back in the water then another couple inches. This softens the glue enough that the top sheet peels of very easily and doesn't damage the topsheet or sponge (I can see you have ripped holes in your sponge, this wont happen if you boil them). I've been removing all the old sponges I have lately but I still don't know whats the best glue to use to stick them back togther with and where to get such glue in Australia. I'm going to try 729-5 on DHS#19 sponge to see if a softer sponge cures this rubbers problem. Maybe if everyone removes their old sponges and topsheets carefully we can swap some and come up with some good combinations

@ F.Z.  Let me just say, you are da man! I have tried something like this many years ago.  I had a Juic 999 (Attack type I think) so I didn't like the hard sponge.  So separated the sponge from an old Mark V and glued the Juic 999 topsheet on the Mark V sponge.  Note that this particular Juic 999 topsheet has the Globe 999 brand and I think Juic just adds their name on the topsheet.  This was before Juic had their own 999 Elite series which I also like.  This was from maybe ten years ago and I still have the rubber.  Still tacky and still picks up a ball!

I made the pictures in the bathroom as you can see, because of the nail polish remover. I put it on a samsonov alpha and its as fast as a tenergy05. It's very spinny despite of the fact that the hurricane is almost out of tacky. If it is brand new it would be perfect.

The problem is that the topsheet of the tenergy is wearing of to fast. This solution is great. Stil one problem...can't get tenergy sponge
