Hello,

Recently I made a short trip to SE Asia and played a bit of table tennis there. Since it is a lot more humid there compared to where I live, I noticed that ever since I returned from my trip, my rubber surface feels slightly oily even after cleaning it. 

Not necessarily a question but I just want to hear your thought on this. Would you consider this as a "damage" to the rubber or whether there are some remedy to this.

Thank you.

Hi Wilson,

The heat may have damaged your rubber if it is feeling slippery now.  Heat can damage rubber very quickly.

Try cleaning it well.  If it doesn't improve you may need to replace your rubber.
