Hi guys, I am trying to understand how much it costs to boost a rubber. Does someone know how many times you can boost a rubber with a single bottle of Falco tempo Long  (150 ml)? i.e. how many layers with 150 ml? Thanks

That depends on how long that one layer lasts. If it is true that 3 layers need to be put on a rubber and then the effect will stay for around 3 months, I firmly believe that one bottle is enough for a rubber for at least 1.5 years, unless it gets worn out. If you use only one or two layers to reboost, it might last even longer.

Maybe applying a single layer will get you the same result but you will have to reboost every month. Take it with a pinch of salt, it is just a guess.

Falco Tempo Long booster on Boost TC.
First layer on November 27.
Second layer on November 28.
Today, 8 days after the last layer the dome is still there. When the rubber is flat I'll glue it. 
seguso, I estimate that the 150ml bottle is enough for 2 years.

The duration of the effect depends on the number of layers you use. 3 layers last for maybe two-three months. Of course you may re-apply. 
I haven't tried dandoy booster.

has anyone the feeling that simple Falco is more efficient than long Falco??

i put the same layers and with falco long the rubber did not boost that much as with the simple falco.

You are right. The effect of Falco Long lasts longer though.

I get bigger domes with the Long Booster compared to the regular one. The dome takes longer to form though.

To answer seguso's question, the stuff is pretty thin, so a bottle will last you a long time. I know a few people that use it, and they only use it bring back glue-feeling from Tensioned rubbers (Tenergy, bluefire, etc) once they lose it... they only use a single thin layer to bring it back.

On my T05 the effect lasts approx. 1 and a half month. At this moment only one layer is enough to seriously dome the rubber and the rubbers lays flat after 6-7days. One thing bothers me though-I still haven't found out do I have to clean the sponge from the older glue and booster before applying again. I don't clean and the rubber grows heavier and heavier. How do you do it guys?

Hi Kolev - 

Use the Revolution glue (available from Megaspin). It is very easy to remove this glue (at least if you have 4-6 layers of it on the rubber as this gives the glue layer sufficiently tensile strength to take it off in one swoop).

What's the best 3 layer application for H3 commercial? I was thinking of doing thin-thick-thin, but I could also do thin-thick-thick.
