Table tennis glue fits rubber to a blade. Every product here is water-based, the only type allowed at any sanctioned level since the ITTF banned solvent-based "speed glue" in 2008 — so accuracy comes down to brand and format, not legality.

Stiga and Butterfly water-based glue

Stiga's Bond Glue pairs with its own Glue Applicator for a controlled, even coat. Butterfly's Free Chack line runs three formats — Free Chack, Free Chack II and Free Chack Pro II — for players who re-glue often and want a specific feel or dry time. Both brands' glue works with any blade and rubber combination, not just their own.

Application accessories

Butterfly's Chack Sheet is a reusable application surface, and the Clip Sponge spreads an even layer across the rubber. When it's time to swap rubber, Glue Remover clears old residue from the blade so the next layer bonds cleanly — part of the same rubber care routine as cleaning and edge tape.

Table tennis glue: common questions

Is speed glue still legal?

No. VOC-based "speed glue" has been banned by the ITTF since 2008. Every glue in this range is water-based and compliant for club and tournament play.

How many layers of glue do I need?

It depends on the blade and rubber combination and your own feel — most players apply a thin, even coat to both surfaces and let it dry until clear before pressing the rubber on.

Can I use Stiga glue with Butterfly rubber, or vice versa?

Yes. Table tennis glue isn't brand-locked — any glue here works with any blade and rubber combination.

How often should I re-glue my rubber?

There's no fixed schedule — most players re-glue when they replace worn rubber, or sooner if the existing bond has started lifting at the edges.
