	Hi guys, Just wanted to know if there's any way to 'drain' or 'dry out' the tuner/booster out of a sponge? The Hurricane III neo/commercial I've boosted twice in the past 4 weeks is now 59g. Each boost I did used 3-4 layers of booster bio speed TRF and the rubber went from 48g (cut, not boosted) to a current 60g (which is basically the weight of the rubber uncut)! I fear for my elbow. Am I tuning correctly? Has anyone experienced such additional weight? and what do you do about it? Shall I just dry the sponge out in the sun, or with a dryer?! get a new sheet?! go Hurricane III 38 Provincial, which might not require tuning?! get a loan and buy Txx?! Thanks!

	All hurricanes require tuning, which booster do you use? It is quite normal for rubbers to become heavier, hence more 'spring'.

	Drill...just stop tuning. Find a rubber that doesn't need tuning as there are plenty of rubbers available. I've always found it too much work to speed glue, tune, etc. I like a rubber I can glue on and be done with it.

	It takes a long time for tuner to evaporate, longer than I'm sure your willing to decommission that sheet of rubber. There is no method that I know of that can be used to "force" the residue from the pores of the sponge.

	I have always assumed that most of the oil will stay in the sponge , Its great that you weighed it before and after as it gives some real evidence, A sponge is a sponge afterall and made to hold and absorb. Im unsure how it reduce the weight but lying the rubber on a absorbant cloth may make some oils capillery out and then use the cloth to wipe that top sheet of any other rubbers
