 Hello again

What's the trick to glueing rubber so that it is easily removed to be used on other blades? A fine coat? It seems difficult to remove the rubber damage free. Cheers,-peter

Hi Peter,

If you use the water based glue it should come off relatively easily.  Work your way around the bat peeling it off slowly.

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!

It also depends on the sponge a lot. Hard sponges are difficult to damage, while soft ones are easy. Glue really gets into soft porous sponge and makes it nearly impossible to remove the glue layer without tearing the sponge.

  Thanks for your thoughts. Seems logical as I only play with softer versions. That's the price I may have to pay. Cheers peter
