Applying new rubber to blade

Ji-Soo Woo Asked 16 years ago

Just a quick question...

once I've stuck new rubbers on my blade I put the whole racquet under a ton of books.  How long should I keep it under pressure like this?  Is 5-6 hours more than enough?  Or should I leave it longer?

Thanks

Hi Ji-Soo,

Yes 5 to 6 hours is plenty.  I think even 30 minutes would be enough.  I think with the new glues you do need to leave it longer than before but not 5 to 6 hours.
