How to Apply Table Tennis Paddle Rubber

You don't need to throw away a table tennis paddle if the rubber becomes worn or torn. You can replace the rubber yourself and make that paddle just like new. All you need to apply table tennis paddle rubber is a few household items, paddle glue and rubber. In less then 15 minutes, your paddle will be ready to use again.

Things You'll Need

• Table tennis paddle
• Adhesive remover
• Sand paper
• Table tennis glue
• New paddle rubber
• Knife or scissors
• Rolling pin
• Cloth

Instructions

Directions

1. Buy table tennis paddle rubber and glue from a sporting goods store or online retailer.

2. Remove the old rubber from the paddle by applying an adhesive remover between the rubber and paddle. Let it sit for a couple of minutes. Slowly remove the old rubber by pealing it away. Apply additional adhesive remover as necessary.

3. Sandpaper off any leftover rubber and glue on your paddle. Wipe the paddle clean of dust.

4. Spread a thin layer of glue on the rubber and the paddle. Let it dry to the point at which it's tacky to the touch.

5. Lay the new rubber onto the paddle. Using a rolling pin or bottle, roll the rubber back and forth to make sure it is secure on the paddle and that there are no bubbles.

6. Trim any extra rubber with the knife or scissors, and repeat these steps on the other side.
