I boosted one of my LPs for fun. The sheet is completely spoiled. However, the density of pips is less than before. Just wonder how does long pimples' pips density affect play??

I don't understand how treating affects the pips. Perhaps you're saying the sponge softened?

sry, it is ox. a pic is worth a thousand words, the upper is the non-boosted LP OX sheet. You can see the boosted LP(OX) 's pips are bigger than the non-boosted pips as well . Edited by Egghead - 04/20/2014 at 9:49pm |

So you're treating the pips. I don't know that boosted is the right word, but I'm not that into lp.

if you stretch the sheet the pips will be more separated and the disturbing effect will be be greater

you can actually boost the rubber itself, not just the sponge.. If you use certain oils, the pips will actually grow. Well, it's not just the pips but the entire rubber grows with certain oils. I once produced a DAWEI 388 D-1 with 3mm long pips (they are less than 2 mm out of the box).. I tried it in training but it was so fast that it was almost impossible to control.. It might be ideal for a chopper but it SUCKS for a long pips blocker.. Way too fast..

Are there pips size regulations on inverted?

I believe that the topsheet (base sheet and pimples (even inverted had pimples, just on the inside) may not exceed 2 mm. However, the devices used to measure rubber thickness only measure sponge and top sheet together.
I remember back when Tibhar had to change the length of their long pips as some of them would exceed 2 mm in length (that's topsheet and pimple combined). Some people were disqualified for a untreated rubber as they were too long from the factory. However, nobody using sponge instead of OX was ever disqualified for the topsheet being too thick as they only measure a total and not just the topsheet.. In OX however, it becomes clear if the topsheet is too thick.
As inverted comes always with a sponge (not legal without), only total thickness is measuered.
Anyways, if it's really obvious (as for example the 3 mm pips that I produced), they will find a way to disqualify someone.. Edited by Pushblocker - 04/21/2014 at 8:19am |
