Boosting dhs 3 neo prov bs/ grippier xiom Vega Europe

[patrykr922]

Hi, I'm changing my setup on couple of days and I want to ask some questions:

1. Should you peel the factory glue layer from hurricane rubber before boosting? I'm asking because last time I've boosted commercial hurricane 3 neo without peeling factory glue layer I've felt like booster didn't work, rubber didn't dome at all. Are you peeling the glue off or boosting right away?? Is there any difference?

2. After boosting and glueing hurricane 3 neo prov bs onto the blade, If I don't play it at all and just put it aside, let's just say 6 months from now, will there be any difference in how the rubber performs now vs 6 months later, even If I didn't play with it and it was just laying in the drawer?

3. Can someone recommend a rubber which is similar in hardness and performance to Xiom vega Europe, but it's grippier than mentioned above?

I don't know if it's my technique but I feel like ball often slips down and I feel like I can't get good rotation on the ball. Might rubber which is little bit tacky solve this problem??

Thank you.

1. no
2. yes; the booster will evaporate

It's not super uncommon for the 1st layer to basically not dome much at all, especially if the sheet is old. If it's very old and used it might not dome *at all* from *any* booster amount. I would expect a lot more on the 2nd layer.

I suggest leaving the rubber in the package if you plan to not use it for 6 months. They degrade even in the package, but even more out of it. You would also have wasted some booster because like conehead said it will surely be ineffectual by then. Even in a best case scenario you don't usually get much more than maybe 4 weeks, although some products claim 6-8.
