I know I did not cut the rubber this badly, there is now a gap at least 1-2 mm. Has anyone experienced shrinking problem with Tenergy? btw, I did not use speed glue - just regular glue (Nittaku Dine)
I would post a pic if somebody let me know how.

It is normal for all the tensor rubbers. It would be shrunk a little after being glued.

haha...I have always used water-based glue so no problem. But because I don't want to waste, I decided to use my Butterfly Basic Chack and yes, it shrunk!!! a little bit I now learn that I should apply 2 layers of the glue and leave for 2 days by sticking it onto a piece of glass before I use it. That would give it time to shrink back to original size.
Cheers.

I don't think that is the reason. I believe the glue makes it expand because I use a big rolling pin to roll over all the rubbers I glue. Those using the water-based glue are still same size. And only this one that I used the basic chack shrinks.
Cheers.

I think it is but they just don't call it a tensor~ Also BTY suggest you use water glue~

i had the same problem with joola tango twice!and bryce powersponge did it to me.so i decided not to buy tensors anymore.everyone knows their prices are pretty high....or these rubbers just need to be affixed once.only once or they shrink.tango sheet now has the size of my palm

tenergy doesn't shrink. You stretched it by rolling it on the 1st time, you just need to roll it back on the same way and it should be okay.

If it doesn't shrink, then it's not a tensor?
I am confuse because Bty never call this rubber a tensor.. And one of the Tensor characteristic is the performance of the rubber will change during the course of the rubber's life. the topsheet will be go first if you don't take good care of it. On the other hand Bty said that tenergy performance will not change as long as the life of the rubber.. One other thing, all the tensor sponge i know is white.. tenergy's sponge is not white.. |

Tenergy is made in Japan, so it can't be a tensor or it'd be sued.

Tensor is the name given to speed glue effect rubbers produced by German rubber producer ESN. Desto series, Dtecs series, Plasma series, Nimbus, Pryde, Coppa JO series are some of the Tensor rubbers. They have similiar playing characteristics and definitely not similiar with Tenergy. Tenergy is made in Japan by Butterfly itself, ridiculosly grippier topsheet with 10-15 degrees of harder sponge compared to Tensors. Actually it has one of the most unique looking sponges around (they call it "Spring Sponge") The only common thing is both Tensors and Tenergy are designed/produced for the post glue-ban era. |

How are you liking your Tenergy on Acoustic Speaquinox?
Is it a fast combo? |

I like it a lot. I've been playing with this setup for 1.5 or so months. Tenergy seems to like med to soft blades, and I don't like soft rubbers on my Acoustic. So far it's a perfect match for me. Yea it's fast, may not be in the same league with OFF+ blades, but it never made me think it's not fast enough.

I used Butterfly Free chack glue which is completely free from
organic solvents.
After applying it to the blade and the rubber, then letting it dry, you can stick the rubber and the blade surfaces together. |

I think the word you're looking for is tuned. Is tenergy tuned? I think it is but I remember there was a debate. Tuned of course meaning something's soaked into the sponge.

Tenergy is definitely boosted out of the package. What I am still not sure though is how it holds that boosting while in package? I mean, if it shrinks after being put on a blade, why doesn't it just shrink while it is in the package itself?
I have used many tenergy sheets over the years and in the beginning I thought that I was rolling them forward too much and that is why they were shrinking when I took them off. However, over the years, I have perfected my technique to glue and cut rubbers and my cuts are similar to the ones you will see on a pre-made. Still, the shrinking (even though it is 1-2 mm) does happen on almost all the tenergies I have used.

It's been 8 years since OP started this thread. His tenergy is probably long dead by now.
