SADC is too stiff for me. Do not know how it will behave on that blade. BH curled into a roll with 2 layers of Kailin. 39 did not roll much with 3 layers. I think it might benefit from more concentrated stuff like National Yellow. No idea though if that is 100% correct. I have not tried it. Yet. With 3 layers of Kailin it plays ok. Its stupidly spinny even with drives.

If you are worried its too fast for u, I would suggest boosting even more. Softer sponge is easier to engage.
I only have seamoon regular so i'll try 1 layer on each to start i think just to activate it

I was using Dhs 301t so sadc doesn't feel that stiff now

Thanks a lot for your answer

National yellow is just concentrated seamoon. Just put twice as much it should be fine.

I'm not super sure national white isn't either. It has the exact same characteristics as a thicker formulation of Seamoon. Maybe it's closer to Seamoon II in some performance characteristics, but I'd go as far to say that for a non-elite player they're the same thing and only the amount needed differs.

I'm not super surprised if Black is the same and has no normalized hardness or elasticity difference either, and Yellow, White, Black are just dosage things to make them easier to use for some applications where you want a repeatable effect per layer.

I've heard that black does not make rubber softer. I've heard that idea is to use it for reboosting. But again my rubbers usually die before reboost is needed.

I'm 99% sure that's completely impossible. I have some Black on order so I will just confirm it on my next boost cycle because I'm curious about it.

I reboost every month and that's conservative, really you'd want more like every week to two weeks, but it's unnecessary for my play level. I can't imagine wearing them out before needing to reboost at all! How long do you get out of them?

It's possible, my friend does it. He brushes really hard and changes his rubbers every month. I don't brush as hard or play as much, so for me it can go for 2-3 months so 1-2 reboost.

No, I mean the booster expanding the sponge but also not softening it. It's pretty much not possible unless the booster adds an incredible amount of density to the sponge, which it doesn't.

Of course the strength per ml can be higher and it probably is, so it allows you in effect to soften the sponge less for the same effect, so in that way I understand it and that's probably what they mean.

I play 3-5 times a week (usually 3) about 10-15h a week and I hit quite hard and the boosting effect is basically worn off in a few days, and there's a little bit left after 2 weeks. The only reason I don't do it every few weeks is cost and laziness :p.

Although I'm not so sure on the cost; the hardness of the rubber has barely decreased even after a few boosting cycles, but I'm probably not good enough to feel what's happening to the actual elasticity to judge if it's fatigued or not. I kinda think I could reboost 4, 5 times without real downsides.

I brush on 2 thin layers, though. Maybe different experience if you brush on 3 thick ones.

When I saw the black oil it was like sludge not like oil. Might be that is contributing factor.

National White is supposed to be between Yellow and Black and mine is sticky, it will make long strands and takes forever to drip. Probably all it is is how concentrated it is.
