Does oil increase tackiness on rubbers?

Thanks coach!

Hihi Coach, is the idea of applying a layer of glue above the surface of the rubber instead of oil a better idea to increase tackiness?

Have you considered flypaper?

I'm kidding of course, and I guess so are you when you write about putting glue on the top sheet?

Actually, I've no idea... 

Because I was thinking of taking a dead rubber to experiment, but at the same time... Never mind.

If it's a dead rubber and you don't plan on using it in a competition, you can try the oil thing, but start with small amounts or you might ruin it totally. There are also mutliple rubber cleaners / rejuvenators avalable on the market, like Falco Life Expander, but their effect is limited. They are more usefull to help preserving the grip of a rubber getting older (i'm talkings weeks or months here, not years), not to ressucitate completely dead ones.

Hi Benzene, your experiment results would be interesting. However, as Alois and Jean pointed out, you cannot use an altered rubber in competition so it would just be for fun/interest sake.  From a competition/rules perspective, a dead rubber is a dead rubber is a dead rubber.
