So to get this shitshow back to topic.

As a long time chinese rubber user (currently H3 on bh for a longer time already) i can somewhat relate to what OP is saying.
<cut>

All in all i am currently considering leaving my H3 on the blade for longer and observe the change in characteristics it gets in time. If those are less or equal to having my H3 reboosted, than i might stop reboosting. Especially if those changes are so low that i can easily tweak my gameplay and work with it, becaue i know for a fact that i cant work with a shitty reboost result 😅

YES YES YES.. you should have been the topic starter.. without all the rating bs

I always clean my rubber sponge and remove the glue.
I would add 1 very light layer on and see the effect. Some times it may be too light and don't dome.
If that is the case, I would add a second light layer on.
this could be 3 to 5 hours later - I will monitor the doming.

from here, the rubber should dome, and I will let it set fully and also check out the expansion.
normally let it set for about 2 days, before adding 3 layers of no15 before gluing on.

The fact about blade and gluing, most people glue every 2 weeks, 1 blade for 1 year, that is 26 gluing minimum.
The guys using K3, will glue 6 times a week, or 300 times a year

I find a lot of people over boost and end up with mushy, even from 1st boost.
I always tell people, you can always add a light layer on, but you can't remove a overboost layer

When reboosting, after cleaning the sponge from the old glue, do you put fresh layer of glue and then booster, or just layer of booster?

sure but what is it supposed to have to do with the price of fish ?

And what exactly does this mean?

I made a video series on boosting (below - part 3 discuss re-boosting). FWIW IMO no doubt, you will get the best effect if you boost with two thin layers and leave the H3 on the same blade. However, one can still transfer the rubber (w/o boosting in between) to different blades and still have a reasonable effect (I do this all the time when testing different blades). Once you add a third boosting layer (i.e., re-boost), the H3 becomes very noticeably softer. If you like your H3 to be firm, then it difficult to play with.

I've also found it hard to maintain a consistent hardness after the 3rd boost.
Story checks out.

do whatever you want with your equipment, heck even use ur pee to boost idgaf. Post your rating/skill level when you give advice because that's when you start ruining people's time, money, rubbers, and racket. <--- not directly directing it to you, but to anyone that's giving shitty advice on reboosting months old rubber, baby oil, sealing blades, etc....

eew
I hadn't realized that's what you meant by a 'golden Viscaria'.

I put booster straight on.

I think this is all relative.
I use 2 to 3 thin layers on first boost.
I know players who use 3 medium layers on first boost and also know those that use 2 medium layer.

Also since I don't know anything about commericial orange, I'm not sure if it will have different affect with #22 sponge provincial which we use most of the time. Some girls will use #20 provincial.

btw, cool video!

I think the 2200 has really gone into his head.
as I said, I'm not sure if he was like that before, but seems like many people have some history of him and his many year progress to grow so little, and I just have a feeling, he has always been like that.

so all sub 2200 players must keep quite in this thread.... lol
or just continue, I will back you all, since I get kids 2200 to go run laps for acting like idiots

you are too low level to be talking to me!

I've also found it hard to maintain a consistent hardness after the 3rd boost.
Story checks out.

Actually the professor seems to be very happy giving the 3rd boost using Seamoon standard version and as described in video 3 at 3:07 , " The rubber is a beast " and also
"fast blocks are landing consistently".
What more do I need.
Like I said before the OP claims are bollocks. QED

That is NOT what the professor concluded

 

[Gekko]

Oh dear...We've become so preoccupied with proving each other wrong, we're neglecting what people are saying.

Professor "Once you add a third boosting layer (i.e., re-boost), the H3 becomes very noticeably softer. If you like your H3 to be firm, then it difficult to play with."

How does that misalign with me saying I struggle with keeping the hardness after the 3rd boost?

 

[Aizen]

The additional boosting is not re-boosting. There is a small difference like 1-3 months.

IMO, after 2-3 months if you are happy with a boosted rubber, then you can continue to play.
Else you can try re-boosting then decide whether it's good or not.

Why do we need to set rules for that?
Of course the best option for competition is using a new rubber as frequent as possible as like Top Pro's.

this post is not here to argue but to give proper advice. If someone want to disagree with me please post a video of you playing and show your level of play before spreading misinformation. Yes i sound like a douche but my intention is pure. I will not tolerate basement players giving bad advice when people google search and waste people time and money.

You posted videos so we've all seen your play. You're not awful but you're not amazing either!
My question is how good do you think you are?
I'm absolutely certain that I'd take sets of of you and I lost 0-3 to a 1760 rated German player. Is my opinion on boosting H3 worthless then?
Your post is your opinion and it's an interesting one but a little respect for others will go a long way. You don't have to be a douche but while admittedly deciding to be one you still expect people to listen to you. How does that work??
You listen to nobody but all should listen to you?
Cmon man, get real here so we can all have some fun, otherwise you just come across as a bad joke.

 

[ThePongCommenter]

Does this help?

A rhetorical question calling attention to a non-sequitur or irrelevant statement or suggestion made by another person.

Don't we ordinary folks know by now that the top players play the game on a completely different level than we do ?
Just as an example , when we look at the recently posted video where Dan end the lads take on Quadri Aruna. The lads slave their guts out and play brilliantly , QA does not even get a sweat up, has a giggle and calls them hobby players.

Have you entertained the possibility that there are players in between your level and Quadri's level that might be able to discern differences that you can't?

So?
Sure you have the proper rights to give advice, but you are missing 2 things here.
1 .You didn't disagree with me on reboosting h3
2. you are not a h3 user.

Therefore my statement still holds true. No player that actually know how to play and have the proper credentials will advise h3 user to reboost their rubber after weeks/months of play. That's shitty advice. It ruins rubber, blade, waste glue, time and money.
