Something is happening to the forum

i use booster only when i reglue.. to stretch shrinked rubber to its initial shape

Falco Tempo Long booster on Boost TC.

I put one coat of Falco Long on 6 month old T05, let it dry for 24 hours and slap it on. It played like 2 years old Sriver. No spin, no throw...good for flat hitting. Have I done smth wrong?  ))   

I bought some falco tempo booster and life expander bundle. Slapped on 2 coats of booster to some old rubbers..they curled up real nice but I'm waiting for them to go back down. It's been like 4 or 5 days now. They have gone down a little bit but not flat enough to glue..how long does it take for rubbers to go flat after 2 coats of falco tempo booster?

Oh ok..that makes sense. I boosted a few lol!. H3 neo, Bluefire M1 and M2, T64, Red Diamond, Venus 2, Hammond Pro Beta, I think that's it. I just wanted to experiment for fun and make some of the rubbers bigger because a few shrunk during use.

I think you have to wait for 3 days at least after boosting. I had nice experience with T05 and TRF or Dianchi (the later yield better results). I didn't try to use T05 sooner than 5 days after boosting but tested some other rubbers next day after and never like the results.

I had good experience with Omega 4 Asia and Falco Tempo Booster.

I put just one thick layer, let it overnight and next morning it was ready to glue. The performance was great but durability was a disaster.. Bubble in 4 days..

Boost TC with Falco tempo Long booster performs like a dream !

I played for 3 hours last night at my club.......WOW   My worn out Rakza soft max black (maybe 60%) with 2 layers of Falco long boost.......WAS AWESOME!  Using it on my FH with my soft carbon extra blade. 

I was also using a red sheet of the R7 soft max with only 1 layer on it BH side....but it did not work as well because the throw was too high.  I think a 2.0 regular R7 will work better for me there. I will have to try that combo next week.   Normally I use same rubbers both sides as I am BH dominant and loop both sides.  But the softer and single layer tuned R7 soft caused a higher than normal throw and I had problems adjusting to it.

As I have mentioned when I first use the Falco LB.....it caused the top sheets of my various degrees of worn Rakza rubbers to become much more grippy.  They are still dull in texture and not like the new glossy clear sheen you get.....but the grip was outstanding now as the topsheet also gets softened up with the booster.  The top sheet composition of R7 seems to respond well to the F-LB.....as well as the sponge.

Maybe the top sheet rubber needs to be tuned as well since it dried out. Try Olive oil, light thin layer and wipe clean with wet paper towel after 15 minutes.

Thnx, on Friday I'll check if the things will be better...right 5 days after boosting :)

With that said, I didn't really notice a boost on T64 or Acuda S2, maybe I just wasn't that used to those rubbers to begin with.

Falco on T05, just one layer when new or used.
