24 hours,I've applied the 2nd layer now and the layer of boost is actually peeling off instead of absorbing into the sponge.

Also I usually apply glue before boosting like in this tutorial, though it is probably possible to do it the other way.

I tried to follow this video but it just feels like the boost and the glue just merged together to form a separate layer rather than absorbing.Hopefully,it does absorb ,eventually , especially with the second layer I added!

First booster does mix together with glue, but with time all the booster you put there goes down into the sponge, I tried it many times.

Just out of curiosity - since boosting apparently is an accepted practice, I suppose you won't mind if I 'boost' my LP rubber by UV exposure or some other creative means, in order to make it play 'better' ?
Not a moral judgement question, I really don't care what my opponent might have done to their inverted rubber - simply wonder what you think about playing someone with LP treated that way.

You can use one of these big bad boys...
Hahaha.
@ pgpg: you know what you can do if you really want to be devious; after you give them the special UV treatment to make the pips extra frictionless, then you do these two things:
1) When you glue, don't put glue everywhere. Make sure there are are spots where the LP are glued down and other spots that are not so that the opponent really can't judge the amount of pips effect.
2) Take Q-Tip, dip it in boost and brush it on the pips in some areas and not in others so that there are spots with grippier pips from the boost and spots that are ultra frictionless from the UV treatment.
Leaving the pips out in the sun for 4-5 hours should do the trick for the first part of the job.

People can do what they want to do with their equipment. I have to focus on the ball because there are no rules limiting people from using crap to play in the tournaments I enter. DeWitt already wins events I play in by wearing out his Mark V and using it like short pips or anti with a weird occasional inverted effect.

As a full disclosure - I am just too lazy to do any of this to my pips (and I think it crosses the line too...), and I'm not really aiming to play 'frictionless' game at the table. Still aspiring to be a chopper

I once played a chopper who had anti on one side and a ridiculously worn out smooth rubber on the other. Took some time to figure out what was going on.

Seriously speaking, I boost because after approximately 2 months of playing my new rubbers (unboosted) shrink and lose a lot of spin on loops. Boosting makes them playing almost like new, so for me boosting is a way to save some money on gear. I guess that treating LPs in the way you described is something different.
