Cheapest glue for rubbers
Equipment
Jay Bird Asked 10 years ago
I'm on a tight budget, what do you recommend for poor mans glue?
I've heard Tear Mender is good, I've used Elmers rubber cement but it's a bit heavy
thanks guys ... George

Hi George,
I don’t think you should use anything except specific Table Tennis glue. If you use something else you may ruin an expensive rubber and end up spending more.

Tone is in Your Fingers
There's is an old saying about guitar playing - tone is in your fingers. And If you've ever seen a really good guitarist play an old guitar then you'll understand how true that saying is. I know we go on a lot about this topic but it is so true. Once you've got yourself a decent bat, it's no longer up to the equipment, it's up to YOU!

If you can use it, look for bigger volumes bottles of glue. 15ml containers are ridiculously costly. For about 2-3 times as much money you can find 1 litre bottles, so proportionally they're much cheaper. Team up with some friends if you have no use of such a large quantity. Don't plan on keeping it forever though, the solvent tends to evaporate once the bottle has been opened. I'm speaking about glues with VOC here, I have no experience with the water-based ones. VOC glues are still legal if you let the solvent evaporate for a couple of days before entering a competition, and they won't kill you if you use them only twice a year instead of twice a day like in "the good old days".
