I haven't read all of the posts, but Lamp Oil doesn't quite do it as good as the biobooster does. The thing about that 5 % is that is neutralizes some of the more harsher effects which allow you to actually put more layers on a sheet of say Tenergy. I actually in a 48 hour process can put up to 17 layers of it on which really tunes the crap out of the rubbers, but still keeps it safe to glue without fear or too much expansion. I've heard many players in the U.S. do this and thus don't have to worry too much about certain parameters such as the 4 mm thickness for sponge and topsheet that Lamp Oil can cause.
As for saving money, it is true that you can go out do this to save the characteristics of the rubber, but it is a lot of maintenance and requires a lot of time. I personally wouldn't spend as much time on all this as I have Chinese Rubber on the forehand and can tune Chinese rubbers on the BH which give it the same characteristics as some higher class rubbers. I still prefer Tenergy 05 on the BH and now even the Adidas P5, TZ SF to any tuned rubbers.
