Different Hurricane results based on boosting procedure

Can't blame you, but that's where the OP is coming from, noting a phenomenon that should theoretically apply to all grades of rubber, which may be less pronounced for the best of the best ones.

Maybe one day I will test this theory

Does anyone have a vacuum box? Real test of my theory as well as avoiding any oxidation would be to boost the rubber with no protective film, but let the boosted rubber rest in a vacuum sealed box to avoid oxidation of the topsheet if you are afraid that 48 hours will ruin the rubber. I guess this would also allow the booster to sink into the sponge better and not evaporate.

Sounds like a gimmick, but maybe this is the secret we've all been looking for with boosting.
