Donic Vario Clean Glue - I think it's one of the best VOC-free glues on the market, and I've finally stopped using rubber cement since I found this one. Comes in 37ml or 90ml bottle. 37ml will do at least 5 bats, 90ml more than 10 bats.

Hi Alex - does that Donic Vario Clean Glue do a pretty good job of holding the rubbers down? I'm looking for some new glue once I use the last of my old Butterfly super long chack speed glue (don't worry, I let the rubber sit for a week so the glue evaporates before I use it!). If it gives a firm hold I'll have to pick up a bottle from you.

I tried that Syncro BTG stuff from Aussie Table Tennis, but it was rubbish in my opinion. Took forever to dry, wouldn't spread evenly, and my rubbers kept coming off too!

Yes it's reasonably strong, although I've seen stronger ones, and I had no trouble with the strength of the Syncro either.

I've probably glued about 50 rubbers with this glue, and no issues with any of them. The only time you might have issues if (1) you blade is heavily varnished or (2) it's a Chinese hard sponged rubber with a strong dome.
I've glued plenty that had a Donic laquer layer, and this posed no problems, but some of the other varnishes )non-TT ones) have a very smooth finish, which might make it harder (I have not tried this).

Compared to the Syncro, it's spreads more easily as the syncro gets dry bits too easily when you brush it on (I've had this issues with almost all other latex-type glues but not the Vario). The syncro bottle I've seen also have a thick hard layer near the top inside the bottle, and the brush accumulated hard bits very quickly making it hard to spread. The syncro is a little easier to remove off the rubber too, so perhaps this means it's not as strong.
