Gluing sponge and top sheet together, any experience?

[speedplay]

Ok, I've had a try out with two Lp's both in OX and found out that while OX was funny to play with, it wasn't for me. So, I have bought two sponges that I intend to glue on to these top sheets.

Now, as you might realize, I'm horrified about this! Me, the guy who cried for help when trying to glue OX on to a blade and as I understand it, this will be heck of a lot worse...

Any tips or suggestions on this?

Also, I've heard that I'm supposed to use regular TT-glue for this, but I'm thinking that there might be some better glue that is more adhesive, anyone knows anything about this?

Talk with Cole!  He's good at it!  I'm serious.  He's also got a video in the how to that will give you a little idea of how to do it.  The video is of doing pips in, but he knows how to glue pips out too.  Just talk with him!  I've done it with pips in off of his videos and it turned out great!

Dont worry about talking to Cole, The answer is right here.

If you are using Regular VOC glue, the procedure is easy.
1. Make sure the back of the OX pimples is perfectly clean. (i use spinmax for this. Only a light clean)
2. Coat the blade with the VOC based glue and let it dry for about 10-15mins
3. Place a piece of cardboard on the glued blade leaving about 2 centremetres's exposed.
4. Place the Ox pimples on top of the Cardboard, but make sure the end of the Rubber is glue against the handle, pressing gently but firmly.
5. slide the cardboard out another 2 centemetre's and press down evenly.
6. repeat step 5 until the whole rubbers is glued firmly.

7. Wala, finished - give yourself a pat on the back and enjoy a coffee, whilst contemplating the cutting of the Ox pimples.

Rob,

what you have described sounds like a very good way of gluing OX rubbers to the blade, might do that if I ever gets to used OX again, but for this question, I needed some information about gluing top sheet and sponge together.

I'll have a look at Cole's site to see the "how to" video. I suspect that gluing pips out to a sponge is harder then gluing regular inverted. The good news is that Borg at Japsko has agreed to do it for me if I fail by myself, but I suspect he wants to get paid to do it. Nothing wrong with that, but I'll try on my own first.

You'll be fine man!  It's going to turn out great.

I do hope so, I just wish that the stuff would arrive soon! I'm eager to try this out and just in case, I ordered one sheet of TSP with sponge already on it.

I need those rubbers/sponges badly as my game isn't cut out to play OX!
