Ron Mangalindan Asked 11 years ago

Hi Pingskills,

I would just as if what can i put on my blade to avoid the chipping on it when replacing the rubbers? Is it legal to add varnish or others in the blade?

Hi Ron,

You can add varnish to the blade.  That is very legal.  This will protect your blade if you are taking off the rubber regularly.

This was a common practice when players were speed gluing regularly and taking off the rubbers daily.  Now it isn't s common.
