I believe this is available only in the U.S. In the United Kingdom they have a very similar product called CopyDex that you may want to try. I'm not sure if it is available in Germany (I'm assuming you are in Germany?) Basically both products are water based latex glues.
No need to put weights on the blade and rubber - though sometimes I'll do that. That or a racket press can't hurt, but I don't think it is really necessary.
There is no glue effect because there are no VOCs.
Mate, thank you very much. It works!!! The famous non-voc glue I was using took me more than an hour removing the old glue from the sponge. It also damages my 50 bucks rubber.
With tear mender, adhesion is good and peels off less than 5 minutes without damaging my rubber.
guys if u live in the uk its impossible to find tearmender in a store....try COPYDEX...u can find on b&q....4£ 125ml....its the same as TEARMENDER and VOC free.....
I bought that glue at amozon a few days ago. The glue is great but i found out that when the glue dries it makes the sponge harder, which makes the game play faster. There is nothing wrong with (slightly) harder sponge but for players that like SOFT sponge i wouldn't recommend this glue. Overall its a great clean glue and will give you a lot of fun time just don't over use it and you will be fine.
How long did you wait for it to reach that slightly dry color when you decided to stick rubber to blade? And how long before you could play the bat that way? Did you clamp it for a while afterwards?
Very nice glue!!! I just bought one ina hardware store & just used it. It's almost the same as the new VOC free Butterfly glues. I highly recommend this product because it's safe & most of all it's cheap.
TearMender is a glue that has been around for nearly 100 years. It is intended primarily for the repair of canvas/cloth. It is a water based latex glue. I think of it as being the water based equivalent of rubber cement.
hey man i like to glue rakcet but today when i got my new racket and i did glue it ofcourse then i had a bubble and how do i get it off hehe please answer!
No. It won't harden. The residue is latex rubber. Though it does seem like it might stick more tenaciously to the sponge when glued for many months. I'm finding that removing the residue from rubber that was glued many moths ago is more difficult. It seems to adhere to the sponge more tenaciously. Of course that may be due to the colder weather as well.
That was RITC Magic Red Sponge (MRS) with LKT Pro XT topsheet. Oddly, I don't see this listed separately on the Zeropong site anymore. But some of the sandwich rubbers do come with this spone pre-glued.
i'v been to 3 ace hardware store buy didn't found this glue.

1> Do u need to put weights on the blade and rubber after glueing to get good adhesion to the blade.
2> Is there any glue effect in terms of play like it used to happen with Rubber cement

If the glue is similar to TearMender, remove the rubber from the blade, remove the glue from the sponge, and glue again.
You get a more even glue job if you apply the rubber while the glue is still quite wet.

the problem i wonder is that if u stick it for too long, will the glue harden??
