if that is the case, then i think i found out what actually the cause is,
normally after glueing, vega pro rubber tends to get delamination, its only around the edges but not the center,
not only me,but few others at my place who uses this vega pro also facing the same issue,
it seems like no matter what brand of glue is used, will always give the same result.
(tried nittaku finezip, androturbo, xiom ibond and dhs no 15 waterbased glue)
i know this would happen to my new rubber, but i still love vega pro no matter what, i continue using it,
so with that delamination problem in mind, i tried to change my method of glueing, perhaps it would help,
and amazingly, it works!
here is what i did (glue: DHS no.15)
1. apply glue to new sheet of rubber twice (wait till the first layer dry first around 20 minutes)
2. apply one layer to blade
3. wait till tomorrow morning then only proceed the next step (minimum cure time = 10 hours)
4. put rubber on the blade nicely
5. cut rubber to blade size
6. feel the difference in speed!
so it turns out, not only it solves the around the edges delamination issue,
but since the sponge are held much more firmly to the blade, the built in carbo sponge also works better and gives more catapult effect.
before this, i only wait till the white glue dissappear (around 20-30minutes) then i quickly put on blade.
maybe i need to change to this new method.
my black vega pro now feels like my last tenergy 05 fx speed (but with old glue method lah)
i wonder what if i glue tenergy rubber like this, crazy speed for sure, hehe..
Are you using speed glue? Delamination is it means it does not stick firm on the blade? If you are using voc-free glue, this won't happen.
If you use speed glue, the speed glue is absorbed into the sponge and expand. You will find that the rubber does not stick firm on the blade. And also, the rubber tends to shrink when you tear it off and try to re-glue.
Thank you.
