Not sure if you know the answer to this but since you have asked players whether they boost their rubbers or not.

When the players are not at home but away do they usually feel comfortable boosting their rubbers when not at home. I’m assuming when they are playing top leagues such as Chinese TT Super League etc or going on WTT tournaments they would have their own hotel rooms so they could boost their rubbers without anyone finding out but with some of the leagues in USA & Europe I think someone mentioned that they usually rent a house and in that situation it would be hard to boost their rubbers without anyone finding out so in that situation do they just boost their rubbers without caring if their teammates/coaches find out. The only thing I would be worried about is teammates/coaches taking pictures of them boosting then posting it online or letting the whole world know that player boosts their rubbers which would put them on the ITTF radar.
official answer - I don't know what you are talking about

but in the dream a while ago, these players are all team mate, they train together, they stay in dorms together, travel together, share hotel rooms today.
They are mates and there isn't any secrets with each other.

I actually did mean DHS H3. From what I read is that the black version doesnt soften the sponge as much as the yellow and white versions do.

So they claimed that the white version is meant for blue sponge, yellow is meant for orange sponge, and that the softening of the sponge with these versions is permanent.

The black version is supposedly better for reboosting because it doesnt soften the sponge as much after it has been permanently softened, but it does get some tension in the topsheet.

But like I said, I dont know if this information is anywhere near thrustworthly, so it might be a bunch of bollocks. I believe it was posted somewhere in the YouTube comments, but I cant find what video it was.
I used all the colors, and yes Black does not soften the sponge, sometimes I reboost my H3 3 times in a week. But I switched to the White, and now Haifu version 2 because they last longer and does not soften the sponge as much as Yellow

Alright so 3 layers later (1 thin, 2 a little thicker) and finally a mini dome is appearing... I think my regular Seamoon is end of life.
Even more of a question now if I'll continue with H3 and boost (and buy new booster) or I drop the whole idea and go back to Eurojaps.

In terms of which booster is the best there is no specific one. it depends on what you want to achieve. Black oil as stated does not really soften the sponge and also doesn't expand the sponge much at all but still tenses the topsheet. National yellow expands and softens the sponge quite alot. this sponge expansion also tenses the topsheet. I haven't tried national white yet.

Generally black oil is great for reboosting if you don't want to soften the sponge anymore. I also asked Loki about boosters and have been told black oil is generally a great booster for esn type rubbers.

Also regular seamoon to me has also seemed to be just a less concentrated version of national yellow and someone from Loki also thinks this is the case
I'm pretty sure that's it. It explains all the difference, why it has a shorter shelf life, why the chemical composition is supposedly exactly the same, and why the effects are basically the same but less

Interesting.
Nobody’s mentioned the national brown oil.
Now, I this one has mixed properties between the yellow and the black oil, hence the colour probably.
