Greetings Everyone,

Hope this is OK. Getting back into TT after 10 years away. The last time I glued something, it was the old school Butterfly Chack that came in a small tube like toothpaste.  That stuff smelled noxious. I still have one tube - but my guess is that if I tried it, it would already be all dried up after more than a decade. 

SO....I have Tenergy 05 and an old Hinoki Jpen blade.  My friend gave me a tiny bottle of XIOM I-Bond waterbased glue.  There's about 20% left in the bottle.

Questions:

1. Is 20% enough to glue a rubber sheet?

2. My understanding is that i spread it out on blade and rubber, let dry, and then put them together. 
Should I do double later of glue on each surface after one layer dries?  Or is one layer on each wood/rubber surface enough? 

3. how long to dry Generally? 

4. Anything else I should know about XIOM I-Bond?  Good glue? 

5. I have no problem cutting the rubber after it is glued so that part is good. 

Thanks in advance for any help.

Put on a layer, let it dry for 10 mins/turn clear,

Then put on another layer(thicker) and let it turn clear, then glue the blade with generous glue layer and wait for 1-2 minutes max

Stick together and roll with something/press on table

Done!

Use a hair dryer when applying each layer. It's much faster.

" 1. Is 20% enough to glue a rubber sheet? "

Its more than enough for a pc of rubber; with lots of spare.

Take care not to stretch the rubber when tou attach it. We used to do thst in speed glue days but Tenergy is not designed for thst

Thanks everyone for responding. 

Just to reconforim SmackDat advice, the rubber gets TWO layers, and dry/clear. 

Then after that, one layer on the blade and JOIN together BEFORE it dries on the blade? 

I thought it was meant to dry on both surfaces - apparently not? 

Thanks again everyone!

Both sponge and blade should be dry (he mentioned wait 1-2 min though I suggest using a hair dryer), then stick together using something like a rolling pin.

some top plies of blades might splinter or split after you take the rubber off due to the glue, so as a precaution it's best to seal the blade with blade sealant before you glue the rubber on the blade
