I believe Butterfly Water Chack is discontinued now, with the faster drying Fit Chack. But it is a good glue. Water based, VOC free, it does not actually boost the qualities of your rubber much, but it serves the purpose of sticking tensors to the blade.

It does take a while to dry, since it is water based. Its pretty easy to attach, but it is pretty messy.

You can spread with a Butterfly Smoospo Applicator, or just use a credit card, brush, etc.

Try this glue out!

I glued it using a paint brush, since I don't have a Butterfly Smoospo Sponge which is recommended by Butterfly for this purpose. Make sure you don't put too much on, as a thin layer is sufficient and necessary for an even glue job.

It took about 15-20 min to dry fully (it becomes transparent when dry). It's actually an advantage that the water chack takes rather long to dry (compared to a "regular" tt glue), because it's easy to keep spreading the glue until you have it nice and even.

EDIT: Be careful when removing your rubber after applying this glue, as with even a thin layer, it is rather hard to remove. The glue solids need to be rolled off the blade. Because the glue solids clump on the rubber, they will need to be removed too, otherwise you'll get an uneven surface the next time you glue it on. I will continue to use rubber cement, since it's much easier to work with, and the solvents completely escape after a few days.
