Get water based glue for the new generation of non-speed glued rubbers. You should probably seal your bare blade so that when you pull the rubber off later, it does not pull up wood chips. Then, put a layer of glue on the blade and the back of the rubber (uncut). Wait until the glue is transparent (should take like 2-8 minutes). You can use a hairdryer to blow COOL air onto the glue to help dry it. When the glue is transparent, slowly line up the bottom edge of the rubber only a few mm's away from the handle. Get a tube that is evenly round (like a paper towel core or something, but make sure its hard) and slowly roll the rubber onto the blade. Don't push down too hard or else you will damage the glueing process, but make sure to not let bubbles in. You should use scissors to cut the rubber as close to the blade as possible. Research your specific rubber to make sure it doesn't shrink though, and if it does shrink after a couple uses cut it a mm or two off the edge of the blade. You will get better at cutting once you have done it a few times. To get a better idea of how to do this whole process I suggest finding a video online to watch as you do it, there are plenty. Good Luck!
