That's what you said, isn't it? Both joola and xiom rubbers are from ESN, so there's little change. As if companies just put their name on ESN rubbers without doing their own actual R&D and testing.

Ok when's my first day at joola? :p

So you're saying all ADK blades and all ESN rubbers are all literally the same?

Has the discussion come to a conclusion yet?

I look at my wallet bro :ROFLMAO:

Depends on the quality tier of your rubber as well, if you get the commercial version of blue sponge national you're still f'd

I have a Vis that's probably the closest

I'm not sure but if a hyperbaric environment can boost a rubber by pumping air into the sponge, I think it would be possible that a hypobaric environment could draw the air out of the sponge

I think that might be dangerous. There is a possibility the vacuum would draw air out of the sponge bubbles and make it collapse. Since the spinart hyperbaric chamber can boost an old dignics back to 90% with nothing but pressurized air, drawing a vacuum could permanently damage the rubber.

Maybe one day I will test this theory :ROFLMAO:

That doesn't sound very pleasant and I don't feel like dumping 50 usd to test this hypothesis, sorry

In my opinion, as long as you removed the film once before gluing, the built-in tension would be released, and the surface would be protected during the boosting as well. I guess there could be a possibility that the surface wouldn't be as well stretched as boosting without the film, but I don't...

No I don't, maybe next time when I finish the OS 41 on my luma, but I think I'm set on my boosting method, don't think I'll try something new

And to be honest, I think doing it this way helps protect the rubber surface against oxidization and allows the stretching of the top sheet, kind of like the best of both worlds. You can tell how much the top sheet stretched if you put the protecting film back on.

I'm not proving anything I'm just sharing my results
