That is the worst blade that i have ever seen ....if it is made that cheaply i'd be askin for a refund .....
Tim fully constructed blades are better than that they dont come apart he dowsnt use cheap dollar store glue on them ....but there is a great tutorial on how to make one also
I must say the TCSS blades are awesome. I wanted to knock off the tip so I could try something different with the mirror, so I slid a dowel through the blade and had to do this so hard I almost injured myself when the tip finally flew off. It actually broke part of the blade off with the tip and some of the tip left on the blade. I would love to know what type of glue Tim uses.
Just while we're talking about blades and their makers,
Has anybody had an Ultrablade tip come off?
It was a stock Mid-Grade initiate blade from Ultra, and a few hits the tip popped right off. Wasn't happy, but super glue fixed it.

I was afraid that if I just said, "I was drinking" that people would interpret that as drinking alcohol. I should have just said that I was drinking iced tea, which I was.
One of the new guys in my Lightsaber Class is an Ultrasaber fan. He's been plagued by problems with his tips coming off.
At first he thought it was because his blades had the bullet tips, so he ordered some new blades with the round tips, but he still had the same problem with those, too. I think Ultra uses super glue.
I believe that Tim uses Weld-on #4, at least he used to. It's a solvent type of adhesive that partially dissolves the plastic it's used on, making the 2 pieces really bond together.
The blade I use to fight with, I've had for over 4 years, and it doesn't even have one of the shouldered tips, it has a flat cabochon on it. I think the tip must have been glued on with the Weld-on, it's the only blade I have that I didn't put together myself.
I have a tube of Weld-on #16, it's a little thicker consistency than the #4.

IIRC Jay-Gon uses #16 as well...

That weld-on #16 is good stuff. I just got done doing my last blade tip. One thing use plenty of ventilation, unless you want to be seeing pink elephants.
Wich is why I can't understand anyone using super glue, even the heavy duty variety.
Yes he does!

I don't I wish they'd just go away..lol
Is there any notable differences between the two aside from thickness? Opacity for instance or which is more durable?

For the record, I use the following for my tips, and my 2 yo has managed to crack the Polycarbonate before dislodging the tip
