2 HRS AGO - Silver wrote:afaik both rubber cement and current voc glues are latex adhesive, just vary the carrier - solvent vs a water based carrier. Its probably the residual solvent that keeps the latex just sticky enough to re-stick the rubber, but you may be able to get the same effect with a very thick layer (multiple layers) of water based glue.I'm thinking of maybe applying 2 layers of water base glue to the sponge and then applying rubber cement to the blade & on top of the layers of the water based glue once dried then sticking the rubber to the blade. My idea here is that maybe the water base glue would provide a barrier so the solvent of the rubber cement doesn't affect the sponge and the water base glue doesn't affect the wood. Just an idea but not sure of the nature of the solvent on water based glue & if it dissolves that too.Statistics: Posted by Sidespinforwin — 26 Apr 2018, 14:16 Collapse

3 HRS AGO - Going back a few posts, I have realized a lot of my lower back issues I had were from...1) Not doing morning Calisthenics... like I did for 30 yrs2) Sitting at work for an occupation (and not getting up every 3-5 minutes)3) Wrong mattress (Ironically, the $3000 mattress is killing me and my $150 for the guest room is like back therapy)My back got weakened from next to no balanced general exercises, older age and poorer blood circulation, bad mattress and sleep position, and too much sitting at work. When I DID do stuff, it was TT and when I played once a week, there was too much explosive moving and hitting going on for my back to hold up.I kept getting all kinds of grade one tears and tweeks. Once I fixed what I could (get up every few minutes, do some general stuff (like squats) and sleep on the right bed, the baddies went away. It probably hurt me that I had cracked 100kg and was on the rise. I have since dropped to 96 and hopefully still on the drop.Playing at the club for Collapse

5 HRS AGO - Sounds about as expected. The chop oriented rubbers suffer on the offense etc. And how tacky is the 401? That would probably be quite a change as well from pips. I've got nittaku revspin on another blade, which is a chop/loop rubber marketing wise. Kind of a tensor type rubber on a slower sponge. Its grippy and all that good stuff, but lacks the gears of tenergy and I actually chop worse with it currently since I'm so used to the tenergy, despite being faster. Realistically any of them should work, once you get used to it. Just comes down the feel you prefer.Statistics: Posted by skilless_slapper — 26 Apr 2018, 11:30 Collapse

8 HRS AGO - I found this post when I was looking for info on celluloid balls online and here is my story and the question:I've been passively collecting table tennis balls for some time and managed to gather around 75 balls. Only 9 of them are plastic, all other are celluloid, 16 of them are old school 38 mm balls. I keep them in two 3 liter jars.So recently I had a comment that it could be dangerous as celluloid can be easily ignited and it burns viciously (as seen in the video ). So it kind of freaked me out. I like my apartment and don't want it to get burned So maybe somebody has some knowledge on this "dangerous celluloid" matter? Didn't find any good info online. Could it self-ignite or something?Statistics: Posted by Simas — 26 Apr 2018, 08:02 Collapse

5 HRS AGO - What is going to be in my opponent's head when they play their next shot.One of the ways that I play opponents is to wear them down mentally. They line up for their shot (say a loop) and they have missed a few. Will I miss this one? Does it have the same spin as last time? Does it have any spin on it? It's taking so long to get to my hitting zone I have too much time to think about it, or conversely oops it just skidded through so I have to rush my shot, or it's drifted in too close to do what I wanted to do or too far away so my shot is weaker... Most of the time, I just play my shot. If I have to think too much about what I am about to do, I will probably miss, which is why I suck at putting away high balls in an orthodox manner - I miss a lot of such smashes. I much prefer to hit an "interesting" shot in that situation - chop smash if high enough, or drop shot or just sidespin crap out of it and leave the opponent to work out what to do, again.Statistics: Posted by Collapse
