How can i replace the addoy rubber but its sponge wont come off with the rubber

Hi Mark,
If you find it difficult to get the sponge off the blade then you can use a solvent like Mineral turps to soften the sponge and get it off the blade.

Hi,
How do you use mineral turps
Alois Rosario from PingSkills Posted 9 years ago
Hi Ashish,
You can just brush it on the sponge under the rubber. If you can lift the sponge a little then get it under the sponge. This will react with the sponge and the glue and soften it to help to remove the sponge.

Any idea where can we get it
Alois Rosario from PingSkills Posted 9 years ago
Most hardware stores will have it. It may be called something different in other countries.

Can we use distilled turpentine instead of mineral turpentine
Alois Rosario from PingSkills Posted 9 years ago
I don’t know the difference. Perhaps someone else will.

distilled is a bit more harsh but will still work fine
