Why is my rubber not doming?

Why is my rubber not doming after boosting?

Hello, I'm trying boosting for the first time on a H3 neo and I'm using the Falco tempo long booster. I applied it after putting a thin layer of glue on the rubber just as the instructions said and waited until it dried to apply the glue. However, after waiting for eight hours, I still don't see the doming effect that I expected. Should I wait longer? Did I do something wrong?

How many layers of Falco did you put on the sponge?

I only put one layer.

Don't people usually put 2 or 3 layers of boost on if it is H3?

yeah but I think you have to let it dry first. In my case, after a while where it was supposed to dome, it still hasn't it just feels like wet glue. I was going to apply more but there is still no doming yet.

Wet glue? How much did you put on? Got a pic?

I don't have a picture but the glue was pretty much dried when I put the booster on.

What do you meant it feels like wet glue?

I brushed a thin layer on a Stiga Genesis rubber and it domed no problem. It does not feel like wet glue.

I don't remember how long I had to wait with FTL for the second layer but if you are not sure if the first layer is dry why don't you wait longer . You will need at least two layers for it to curl the rubber if it hadn't been boosted before

Oh haha sorry I meant that the booster felt like wet glue but as of now it just looks like I never put any booster on in the first place

H3 neo has a layer of glue on it right out of the packaging. Perhaps 1 layer is not enough to get through this?

Loopadoop · Jul 23, 2019

Possible, the sponge moisture level of this sheet out of the packaging was below normal.

Doming is visible aftet 2 layers.

1 - what version of H3 is it? Provincial and national versions dome better than the commercial version.

2- Neo H3 needs to be left out of the vacuum pack for a day or two before applying booster. This allowed the pre-applied glue to dry up.

3 - yeah you probably haven't waited enough

All the best

Just apply a second layer and see what happens. If when you wrote the OP, it was 8 hours after applying the first layer of boost, then now it is about 18 hours later. I would add a second and then decide if you want to add a 3rd layer a few hours later.

and be sure to remove the protection layer

Yeah i boosted strait out of the pack, I applied booster to one new commercial and one old used provincial. So should I try to take it off?

I thought that was a booster layer.

I don’t mean on the sponge. I mean the topsheet.
