Ok now we know baby oil works, but is it good? How long does it last and how do they compare to the boosters for table tennis?
I have done this, and yes , the effect has been good. I felt that I made the topsheet and sponge,both of them soft.Donot use baby oil.. use olive oil on your topsheet..

ilike the effect of baby oil on harder chinese style rubbers. However, do not overboost, as oil doesnt dry as well as actual boosters.
Boosting hard rubbers will stretch the top sheet, improving the spin and touch in the short game, and add a little more kick away from the table (an extra gear) when youneed it. The sponge does get softer, but starting with a harder songe overcomes that.
It wont turn a chinese style rubber into an euro/jap one, but it works great for that active/fully engaged play style.
i had to unglue my two rubber, a Xiom Vega europe and a Xiom Vega pro, both of them shrunk, im thinking on using baby oil to restore them. the choice for baby oil is because of price and availability, i dont have neither €€€ or time to wait for a decent Table Tennis Booster.
How many layers do tou thing i shoud apply and how long should i wait for each layer.
Thenk you for your help i have to do it the weekend.

Thank you for your replys, by WBG you mean Water Based Glue right?!
Baby oil will make the rubber expand a little right ?
I needed to boost my Xiom Vega Europe DF as it has shrunk. Now I've taken it off again and it has extreme dome.
What would I apply to the top sheet to bring the dome down a bit. Baby oil, olive oil, WD40, Kerosene? Not I'm not trying to add extra grip, just expand top sheet slightly.

I know a lot of people on this forum like and use Falco. I have a friend who is pretty high level and boosts and he says Dianchi is much better than Falco and that Haifu SeaMoon booster is better than Dianchi but both Dianchi and SeaMoon are good.
Not sure why but he said Falco was way worse than the other two.

Falco its Belgian - French company...I only trust boosters/glues made by well-known and reliable manufacturers as they are liable for what they sell, not these Dianchi and Falco Chinese manufacturers.
