Don't think it has a fruity smell, more like oilish IMO.

My friend bought dian chi glue & booster when in hungary- i didnt smell the booster, but the glue was disgusting and i was about 1 metre away! my frind smelt it and sid it shot up his nostrils it smells disgusting! mind you, a new sheet of h3 aint too pretty either!
I wonder if the defenders like Joo have ever boosted? He speed glued so maybe he boosts too? boosting long pimps must be nightmarish and playing with them i cant imagine! apparently the ittf have agreed at th agm that they are going to try and find a way of detecting boosters and implement it as soon as possible can anyone confirm this? I know one of the delegates and he told me this so it must be true?

Paraffin oil effect lasts much longer then one week and you can use it without peeling off latex (glue) too.
Try baby oil, it works just great and top players would still use it but for mini-rae control.
Can you please tell me if Dian Chi has some sort or fruity smell? tnx

I'm graduating in chemical-materials engineering and I know what I'm talking about.

sorry but for my personal playing standars paraffin oil doesnt last as much as i need it to , after 1 week tension in the topsheet isnt that good compared to dian chi


i didnt quite understand ur phrase about mini rae control . we all know that top players boost but we dont know with what...dian chi is undetectable , and even some certain speed glues cannot be detected . a funny situation when i tested my speed glued bat with an ITTF machine , and it didnt detect anything !

p.s. u dont need to buy speed glue , just buy benzine oil based glue or petroleum oil based or even fish glue

Will the rubber be faster worn when you use booster?

yes due to the forced tension of the topsheet boosted rubbers tend to lose the ability to spin the ball over time . chinese rubbers last very long though , even when boosted , im boosting for 3 consecutive months a hurricane3 blue sponge rubber and the loss of spin is insignificant

What surprises me is that there is nothing written about REBOOSTING with Dian Chi.. TTNPP says no need to peel off the old layers and put 1 layers of booster then wait for 1 night.
Sorry but when I take off the rubber, the old layers are pretty messy, I just did, and half of the dried dianchi layers stayed on the blade, I figured I couldn't manage to reboost on that sh*t. So I peeled it off. Now what ?

I'm puting 3 layers of Free Chack and then I'll put 1 layer of dian chi, and wait for the night.. I hope it'll work fine. What do you think ??

Actually I messed the first boosting last week, I didn't put enough thick layers of booster, so the effect disappeared almost completely within a week.

it doesnt matter whether you put dian chi after water glue or directly to the sponge !

Boosting results after 4 days vs 6 days

I have finally finished my experiment !

I tried to stick a boosted rubber on the 4th day and i managed it ! (it needed 6 tomes of encyclopedia though) . In day 3 it was impossible to stick , even with books so i waited one more day

so after i sticked one 6day rubber and one 4day the results in boosting effect are below

I let a ball bounce from a 30 cm height for about 15-20 times and counted the results


boosted H3 neo 4 days , most common rebound height = 17 to 18 cm , max rebound height = 19.5 cm

boosted H3 neo 6 fays , results are exactly the same.


Afterwards i went on playing the rubbers on my training center (they were stuck to the same blade) . I didnt notice any difference , both of them were playing very good and with the expected speed...so after all that jibberish now you know that it doesnt make a any difference if you stick the rubber earlier than the 6 day instructions provided from ttnpp , its only very difficult to stick them before day 4 !

Actually it's been on Prott since a month or so: the first time you boost, you can wait 3 days (minimum). It's not 6 anymore.

Hum... Yes it does matter. Why are we supposed to lay 3 layers of WBG before Dianchi the first time you boost ? To prevent the strong boost to suck into the sponge to quickly and 'burn' the top-sheet.

Anyways, I glued it back on my TBS, and it worked fine, the sponge enlarged a lot though, I had to cut it.

Don't hesitate guys to write about your reboosting expermiments. How many times do you reboost your H3? How many times do you leave the old layers on the sponge ? Personally I think you can remove the old layer on 1st reboost if it's a bit messed up, just put some WBG glue before applying dianchi, and your good to go.

dude im talking when u reboost. not the first time when you put 4 layers :) when you reboost u just need a thin layer of dian chi so it doesnt matter if the sponge has water glue on it or not . anyway the whole thing is meaningless , everybody when reboosting peels of the old layer of glue , then glue again and then reboost so it doesnt really matter .

yes but the difference is prott.cc recommends 3 layers of dian chi and ttnpp recommends 4 layers . its all up to the user , if you want really strong effect u should put 4 layers . with 4 layers i managed to stick it onto the blade in 4 days . Layers are just a restriction so that the rubber wont get bigger than the 4mm regulation . more booster = more sponge expansion= more topsheet tension

Ok, so did you reboost your H3N with just Dianchi on the bare sponge ? What happened ?

After playing approx 1 month I re-boosted my H3 BS with one layer of Dianchi without removing the old layer of glue and it domed perfectly after 1 hour. Applied one layer of WBG on my blade and attached blade and rubber together. Had to cut the rubber due to expansion :)

the rubber curled normally and afterwards iu glued both the rubber and the blade , stick em together and played with no problems ! didnt notice anything bad at my topsheet ! the layer was so thin that it was impossible to reach the topsheet :D

Okay! Pretty interesting! How thin do you mean ? Did you press at the max the brush inside the top of the dianchi bottle, to press out the excess of booster ? I figure the layer was nothing like the layers you've put on the 1st boost, right ?

What about the playing effects: did you get back the EXACT same sensation as a newly first-time boosted H3 rubber ?...

Thanks
