    Posted: 10/28/2007 at 11:58pm
I've tried this new stuff from Falco on a Tulpe 007 Japanese sponge, and the speed glue effect was very impressive! I've reviewed it on my website here:
 
 
In the review I've also compared it to the equally impressive Tibhar Clean Tuning Extra, where 2 layers (thicker) of the Falco Tempo Booster compares favouritably to 5 layers (thin) of Tibhar Clean Tuning Extra.

haggisv ,
have you tried Falco Tempo Unlimited Speed Glue?
http://www.dandoy-sports.com/product_info.php?pName=falco-tempo-unlimited&cName=glue

From what I read from the link above ,I suppose that Falco Tempo Unlimited Speed Glue doesn't need Falco Tempo Booster.

Have anybody tried Falco Tempo Unlimited Speed Glue without the Falco Tempo Booster?

Yes I have a few months ago, but not on the same rubber:

Review Falco Tempo Unlimited


I tried it on a harder Chinese rubber (Globe 999 National), and although the performance was quite good, it did not soften the sponge enough for my liking. I have not used the booster on this rubber to compare.

I will also glue up a rubber with the Falco Tempo Unlimited on another (same) sheet to compare it to the others for my next experimentWink

I tried Tempo unlimited glue alone and I think it's a very good glue. I come from using not fresh glue, so it's easy for me to be favorably impressed, but I think that this kind of glue is the future in tabletennis. But, the answer is another: If I want to use booster plus aqua glue, I must treat the rubber first with the booster and then apply the glue. The effect of booster lasts 2 or 3 weeks. When I want to repete the entire treatment must I remove the aqua glue from the rubber? Do you know it's not a simply manouver? Or may I leave the glue on?
P.S. Haggisv, I can't see ypour website. My PC says it find the site but it's not able to let me see with IE . Have you some idea?

It's a  good idea to remove the glue before you apply the booster again. It seems easier to remove water based glue than other glues.
 
TiborKlampar: I use IE and have no trouble seeing the webpage... anyone else have trouble?

that looks like a better product then CTE..
but i'm having trouble finding where i can get it. and do i need to use water based glues to attach it? all the water based glues i've seen so far are pretty damn expensive...

oh right! damn conversions... all countries should have the same currency for idiots like me to not get confused (too) easily ><
have you tried it? how do u like it compared to CTE?
its giving me the impression that the falco needs less layers to get the same effect, and is cheaper. is that correct?

Both products are great, and I was impressed with both. In all fairness the CTE layers were thinner since the applicator restricts how much you put on. The Booster liquid is quiet thin too though, but the layers were no doubt thicker.  More layers of the CTE would no doubt increase the effect.
The Booster is 150ml though whereas the CTE is 100ml.
 
For test I ran, with that particular rubber,a dn the number of layers stated, the booster was better. Different rubbers and diffeeretn number of layers can change this. I also have more test to run on how long it lasts, etc.

Costwise, the Booster is less than the CTE and you get more per bottle. However, the CTE is supposed to last at least 4 weeks vs 8 days or so? for the Booster.

thanks to haggisv and alfie for the info =D

I think you're getting mixed up with the Falco Tempo Unlimited, which is actually a glue and the effect is more like 8 days. The Falco Tempo Booster discussed here is not a glue, just like the Tibhar CTE, and the effect of the booster is claimed to be about 3 weeks.

Oops, you're right. I got confused on the review. Thanks for the clarification!

My understanding is that CTE and Falco are VOC free so they are not banned and quite harmless...

Then again, walking around in a big city is hazardous to your health - just imagine breathing all that foul air...

I do not really understand what all the fuss is about - if people want to glue and reglue w/o poisoning others (as in: outside of the building/gym/hall) then why not? if you allow them to glue rubber on a blade at least once (otherwise you'd have to play with naked wood) then how exactly can the regluing be generally prohibited?

So as long as nobody poisons anybody with second-hand glue smell - I must admit it is pretty noxious - I say let them do whatever (but of course preferably with VOC-free glues and liquids)

Excuse me sir  but what your "undertstanding" does not constitute the ITTF approved list  and therefore the rules.  Have you seen the ITTF approved list of solvents AFTER 7/27/2007  ? 
I wish "My understandings"were the rules too but if each robotNazi wants to interpret rules to his "understanding" then why have rules at all ?  Just say that whatever the robotNazi says in a match will be the rule that the spineless cowards or other players must obey and follow.  You would love that won't you ?
 
I do not really understand what all the fuss is about - if people want to glue and reglue w/o poisoning others (as in: outside of the building/gym/hall) then why not?
ITTF had admitted after 12 years it is the long-term effects both first and second hand. Also the effect does not effect each person equally. One person may be far more susceptible to glue than another.  One person can suck on carciginic glues all day for years with no effect but another may get 10 types tumors and cancers in six months but the problem is that we do not know which one is which.It is a well known secret that Andrei Grubba (who died of cancer ...he does not smoke)  and many others died of regluing due to ITTF's criminal negligence after 1995 (when they banned and unbanned) but do you think IOC(ITTF) will ever admit it ?
 
if you allow them to glue rubber on a blade at least once (otherwise you'd have to play with naked wood) then how exactly can the regluing be generally prohibited?
By banning the speed gluing "process"  in which one glues 1000's of times more than just regular gluing using say rubber cement
 
So as long as nobody poisons anybody with second-hand glue smell
 
Well they do..... that is why ITTF banned them  

 
I must admit it is pretty noxious
No kidding :)
 
 
I say let them do whatever (but of course preferably with VOC-free glues and liquids)
 
Why .....especialy when it is now well known that they are harmful and also make the equipment overly unfair in favor of robotNazis as compared to say spineless cowards
 
Read the FAQs ....you will get some clue

As far as I know there is a list of ITTF illegal/banned substances, anything else would have been legal, even before the glue ban announcement.
 
Under the new rules I would think that anything that does not contain the banned substances, and passes the new detector device test will be deemed to be legal.
