How to boost a Hurricane 3 Neo and Skylien 3 Neo?

How do you boost those rubbers?

Thanks,

What I do with NEO sheets is: I try to remove all of the tuning layer by scratching it first then peeling it. If that doesn't work, I add a layer of glue on top then scratch and peel that layer along with the NEO layer. There should be no glue left on the sponge at all.

Then, I start at square one. I apply 4 even layers of glue, allowing each layer to dry completely before the next is applied. I then boost the sponge with DianChi oil booster, 1 layer at a time. I apply the first layer and I wait for about 2 hours before I apply the next layer. It's recommended that you wait at least 10 hours but patience is not one of my virtues. I am still to one day learn my lesson. I wait about 3 hours between each layer or I apply the next layer when the glue and sponge looks dry. I apply 4 layers of booster or boost until the rubber domes up to the point that the opposite ends of the sheet touch. 

I let the rubber rest for several days or until the sheet seems to be able to be glued on. I then glue the sheet from the label outwards. Be sure to apply decent pressure to really roll out the rubber because it will still be domed and it may be hard to glue it properly. Roll the rubber out well and cut the rubber with overhang because it will shrink. Clamp the rubber for however long you usually clamp it for and then enjoy your boosted rubber.

W0w s0 much w0rk :O

It looks like DHS NEO and #50 sponge respond to Seamoon booster pretty well. This is what I have for Neo TG3 40 degree and H3-50 after 3 layers of Seamoon. I left the original layer untouched on TG3. I plan to do 3 layers of Dianchi glue and sandwich more Seamoon layers on them. I have to remove the rubber sticky sheet to allow for the doming.

Bump, anyone have an answer to my question? I'm really curious. I just may boost an old sheet of DHS NEO rubber but removing the glue sheet is too hard.

The glue will soften as the boosting process takes place. Anyway, even without softening, the glue is still flexible, it's not a solid sheet of glue, the glue will still allow the sheet to move and flex. The booster will still seep through the glue and get to the sponge. The regular fresh boosting procedure involves adding a layer or several layers of glue to the sponge anyway so the booster will still reach the sponge regardless of if there is glue on the sponge or not. I hope that answers your question.</span>

Thanks for the reply. However, I'm not really concerned about the glue I put in but the glue sheet sticker that came on the back of the rubber. You know, the one with the white film in which you take off? The one that makes them say you only need to put one glue layer on the blade because the rubber can stick fine without further glue. I'm talking about that glue sheet. Not the WBG layer that was on there because of me. Or were you talking about this? Maybe I read your comment wrong.

@NBSR no it won't prevent the sponge from expanding. the booster solution seeps through even multiple layers. some ppl as panany said even add some WBG layers first.
