h3 boosting

[ripctt2]

SO I boosted h3 (4 micro thin layers and a medium-light layer) but then i realised i had no glue.. so im currently waiting approx 5 days. Would I need to do another layer (like thin layer) so it tensions the rubber again and when i glue it , it is more tensioned and retains that tension rather than waiting for it to uncurl?

Nah, it's fine, I've done some experiments on waiting 5 days vs. <24 hrs vs. 2 days and there wasn't much difference except at <24 hrs it takes slightly longer to break in. Also, the count for reboosting is more time based rather than play time based, i.e. if you wait for 5 days then you'll probably need to reboost 5 days earlier.

im actually not looking to reboost which is why i suggested that like maybe get it as tensioned as possible so it stayts tensioned? but im not too sure if thats how it works. it does soften the sponge so yeah ill probably just leave it.

You can also place a foil over the sponge to reduce evaporation.

Or a sealed bag...

ok well, i know for next time but its already been a few days and its basically almost uncurled, so... do i need to apply one more layer?

 

[merlin el mago]

I will do a thin layer for peace of your mind.

Nah, it won't really make a difference. BTW, I think for amateurs H3 plays the best after a reboost. It retains a lot of its best qualities but becomes a lot easier to activate.

I like H3 best after the first break-in and the initial boost effect is subsiding. Just feels like it's loosened up and ready for whatever a reboost usually just feels a bit off.

its the first time boosting. i tried plying without booster, felt too slow then i decided to boost but alas i realised i didnt have any glue 😭

Ok ill leave it as is and wont do another layer.
thanks a lot everyone
