Glue Removal
Again, this is one of the areas where some players can get a bit obsessive. Since you are gluing the bat each time you play, there is a build up of glue in the sponge, and eventually the build up will be so much that you won't be able to get a good speed glue effect. At this point, you can then use boosters, which are supposed to reactivate the built-up glue and give a good glue effect. Other players have techniques for removing glue from the rubber, to allow another fresh start.Personally, when I used to speed glue and was playing 3-5 times a week, I found that the surface of my rubber used to wear out long before glue build up was a problem. Since speed gluing makes the rubber wear out faster, the sweet spot of my bat used to wear out pretty quickly (hopefully because I was hitting it there so much!). So you may not find speed glue build up to be much of a problem either.
Long Life Speed Glue
Table tennis manufacturers are now making long life speed glues, which are supposed to give a speed glue effect for anywhere from 3 days to a week after gluing. The general consensus is that the effect is not quite as good as the short-lived glues. If cost or convenience is an issue, these may be worth your while using. If performance is the main factor, stick to the normal speed glue.Resources for How to Speed Glue
