Well i use a Yasaka Markv rubber and it is an offensive type rubber i repaste it every month With joola waterglue the first day it feels a bit fast but then it is not that fast as before i wanted to know why does it happens and is there any extra effort to be applied after you paste the rubber to get a good offensive effect of the rubber?

Hi Swapneel,

The glue will tend to react with the sponge for a short amount of time.  You do get a build up of glue if you do this too often though which will be detrimental to the performance of the rubber.  I think with Water Based glues it is best to put them on and leave them.

No, you need to leave it.  It is actually illegal to put any chemicals on the rubber.
