Here's a tutorial of how I restore and seal my table tennis rackets.
All of my table tennis blades are sealed. This preserves the blade handle longer, keeping the resell value higher even after years of use. It also maintains the qualities of the blade, like weight, as the seal prevents moisture to be absorbed by the wood.
Lastly, I like the feeling of a smooth, hard plastic-feel, in the handle. Makes it less slippery and easier to handle.

Funny I have the Yinhe T4 looks almost the same but has 4 corbon layers a true monster. Just arrived today and I put a 2.1 Yinhe Moon Medium and 1.9 Uranus Poly on it, good to know how to restore it once it looks that old. Propper Cleaning there! :D

Actually, if you coat it now, it will never look like this. The coating will keep your handle bright, clean and shiny. Also, it will prevent it from absorbing your sweat, and won't make your blade heavier in the long run. I had an old Joola Kool blade, I bought it at 85 grams. After 15 years of use, without coating, it ways now at 100 grams!!! Lol. That's when I decided on coating all my blades.

@@phtabletennisvlog4473 Yeah i coated it twice but not the handle my hands get to sweaty for that sadly, I have a few custom made blades replikas which are totally sealed and I ended up putting a grip tape on it. So for the yinhe I didnt seal the handle although I thought about it a bit. Thx for the heads up. Wasnt aware that the sweat adds weight over time but it does make sense. Might actually seal em all and than put grip tape on em. :D

Are you sure that the sealing makes it less slippery? It looks great, but i have quite sweaty hands and i'm worried that it''ll just slip out when i'm doing a big forehand swing.

From my experience, old dirty handles become very slippery and uncomfortable to hold. Sealing makes it feel like hard plastic. But if you sweat excessively, then it may make it more slippery for you. There are days when my hands become excessively sweaty, what I did is I stick a small piece of sandpaper at the bottom part of the handle on the backhand side. This really worked for me. But on most days, my hands are pretty dry.

Hello, i have an old blade that i would like to clean from dust and dirt build up which darkens areas in the blade, what is the best solution/material to rub and clean the blade please?
@phtabletennisvlog4473
@phtabletennisvlog4473 8 ай бұрын
Most of that dirt and oil and grime are embedded into the wood. So you might need to sand a bit of the surface until the color of the racket lightens. I'm not aware of any product that would be able to remove the dirt that's embedded into the grains.

Why glue and not a TT varnish/sealer like Joola or I-Sure etc...? Also, why would you polish the handle? doesn't that make the handle slippery? Thanks.
@phtabletennisvlog4473
@phtabletennisvlog4473 6 ай бұрын
Super glue is thinner, so it gets absorbed by the wood better. And most of all, it's a lot cheaper then any TT branded sealer. It's a preference, I like the feel of smooth plastic handle better than wood. Also, it prevents the blade from absorbing your sweat. I have a Joola Kool blade, about 15 years ago, it was 85 grams in weight. After years of use, absorbing sweat, now it's 110 grams. So I do recommend sealing to keep the handle clean and retain the blade's qualities.

For the face of the blade, usually, you wouldn't need to reseal it at all, as the wood will absorb the sealer and keep it there permanently. But there may be cases where the sealer gets peeled off. Although, I have never seen it happen.

@@Jk-ov8fg Do you mean from the Rubber or from the Blade? I don't usually get this problem with the blade, as I put on a thin clear coat of clear paint (acrylic spray paint) on the blade face, which prevents glue from staying after removing the rubber. And on occasion that it does, I do the same as you and use my fingers. Sometimes, painter's tape or even duck tape help to capture the glue and remove it from the blade face. Try it out. As for the rubber, this is very hard to remove. For rubber with really thick build up, I dip the rubber on a pan of Paraffin Oil for about 24 hours. This softens the glue and then I scrape it off. It doesn't completely remove all the glue, but it does make it a lot thinner. Warning though, this will make your rubber grow, you can use it as is, which makes it feel boosted, or wait for it to shrink back to its original shape.

@phtabletennisvlog4473 10 ай бұрын
Not sure about that. The absorbed sweat makes the blade heavy overtime. I have a Joola Kool which I bought in the late 2000s, it used to be 85 grams. Now it's 102 grams. If you want to make it last, you'll really need to seal it. You can use a cloth wrap, the ones used in Badminton rackets, if you sweat a lot in the palms.

I use white candle wax. I used a racket for over 20 years and it kind of froze in time. The only sweat stains were the ones that were already in before I waxed it. It stopped turning brown and grimy. It never got to this state. And the best part is, you still feel the wood grain. I rake a white unscented candle over the handle like a crayon and then take a lighter to melt it into the wood pores. I use a cloth to smear the liquid wax. Then I take sandpaper to sand off the top wax layer. All the wax is in the pores.

@@phtabletennisvlog4473 No. If you sandpaper it, it will feel like wood, but the wax is already embedded into the wood fibers and pores, especially if you use a cloth to smear it in when it is still in liquid form. Also don't drip wax all over it like I did on my first experiment on my childhood Stiga Clipper from over 20 years ago. The first time I did it, it has "water stain" marks all over it and I panicked. I scraped the wax off and sanded it down back to the normal wood color after 2 hours. I found out that it is not necessary. On all my newer blades, I just LIGHTLY crayon the candle over it and melt it with fire. And then smear with cloth. Then lightly sand it until the feel is right. Is about 30 minutes in total. I put 2 VERY LIGHT layers of wax on all my rackets.

In my country there are famous glues with cyanoacrylate, but it sticks immediately. If you pass a piece of paper like you did and the paper sticks to the wood, along with your fingers. Impossible to do what you did.

Cyanoacrylate hardens with moisture. So if you keep the tissue and the surrounding dry, it should work. You could also order from AliExpress, if you think it's the local CA Glue formula that's the issue. But mainly, it's moisture that's the problem. If the tissue is even a bit wet, the CA glue will harden immediately.
