Urgent Question About Pulex Rubber (Hard)

WCF

Help Support WCF:

I dog eared my 6" blade and used a soft unger..

I don't think dog earring is all that impressive anyway to be honest and there is windows that you just need to scrim..

 
I did car detailing for 11 years before moving to the island hard rubber windscreen wipers I used to soke in glass cleaner before fitting. Softens them right up and no jumping! I know you just spent ten hard earned pounds but another 4 at halfords. Autoglym fast glass will sort you a nice emergency spare??? GF

lol good tip for car wipers, I'll be using that one cheers. Not sure it'll sort my problem with these rubbers but worth knowing anyway.
 
My hunger visa versa kept jumping when I first started to use it, came with soft rubber but I think it was my inexperience and a 6 meter pole!!! But worked a treat, did my 20 & 40 cm ninjas now I'm going like a pro lol GF

 
I've still got some of it here so I'm gonna try it on a piece and see what happens, can't hurt it can it
try applying more pressure, someone said it makes a difference on here. I tried it and it really does. I noticed I was getting more lines with less pressure.

 
I will but still say it's not pulex hard I got here, I got a length wrapped up for ya Marc I'll post tomorrow then ya can tell me for certain mate.

Cheers, Doesn't take me long to go through it. Bad thing with dogeraing is it burns the rubber at the corners away fast. Ive got a small box full of all rubber, i just use it for smaller blades

 
I been thinking about that mate ever since I saw the sorbo thing that sharpens em, I reckon ya could sharpen a normal rubber once maybe twice if ya only take off a nats doodaa. Think I might make it my next diy mission to rig up a jig to do it on. Sorbo one is the proper job obviously but it's just rubber and it cuts easily and if ya can do it with a straight sharp edge it would save loadsa dosh.

 
When I put a new rubber in I always leave 1/4 inch either side, ill use one side, flip, then trim, use same side, flip again.. Then trim and put into smaller channel..
