Whoa! I never thought what would happen in long life! Thanks for throwing light on it.
Anyway, instead kf using boosters(factory made), can I use oil as home made booster?

As i've read homemade boosters aren't nearly as good as the ones you can buy.
But i can't confirm this, since i haven't tried it personally.
All i ever used is paraffin oil or baby oil and it does enough already IMHO.

Here's a quote from the same thread as already mentioned above:

In the past I made some test about boosting materials.
In nutshell: Baby oil:softens up the sponge, give some extra control, but not too much speed. Lasts quite long.
Paraffin oil: nearly the same as baby oil, less softening and a little more speed. The boost have a little shorter lifetime.
Citrus essential oil: enormous effect, very hight speed, spin, sharp feeling. Unfortunately it lasts only for a week (maximum).
Frying oil: softens up the sponge, gives good speed, but terrible control.
I made these tests with worned out cheap chinese rubbers.

Actually, homemade meant baby oil. I stated wrongly. Thanks anyway!
