Yet another boosting question.

[Shuki]

So I am by no means proficient at boosting, but have done it in the past quite a bit.

About to try Falco Tempo Long because I'm tired of reboosting on a weakly/-biweekly basis. (In the past I used Kailin oil).

How do different glues respond to this booster? Like how does a more latex based glue like rev#3 respond compared to something thick like blue contact or nittaku finezup.

Also in your experiences have boosting chinese rubbers like h8 boosted better through a different amount of layers vs boosting a porous rubber like T05.

Lastly. Would boosting on a latex based glue help out different rubbers more than others? Like is it possible that boosting on h8 would be best with latex type glues while boosting with porous rubbers would end up being better with thick glue?

Hey Shuki, my experience with boost is limited I have only used Falco and I'm not an expert as you know, but I have experienced what I consider as favorable results. the Falcons site recommens using latex glue with long boost, they did not explained why but different blogs people suggest that the latex is both better at slowing the absorption and in creating a barrier sealing in the boost. This is hear say but I do work with lots of latex based products and it seems reasonable. I just recently purchased a tube of Dhs 15 latex glue which has been recommended a lot for use with Falco long but I have not used it yet. For reference I read In a review that Dhs 15 in tube is identical to donic vario clear in characteristic. if you buy it in the smaller tube it has a strong bond, and it's thicker, the large bottle with the same name is thinned out some. I have only really used rubber cement attaching rubbers and after quite a bit of research I felt OK to go ahead And used the falco with that even though it's not the recommended pairing. I did not experienced any problems, no bubbles and the effect are long-lasting. I still put rc on first and let it dry and I never initially put more than two layers of Falco on. Mostly I have used it on Chinese rubbers h3 neo, provincial, h8, 999t different sponges etc. But also put a single layer on used larger poured euro rubbers like tibhar 5q sound, andro power sponge it did give back some spin/ life performance. I applied it to euro rubber over a mouth ago and its still present. Again rubber cement with that. As I said I can't compare really yet,others can answer more directly/fully I'm sure, but I thought it might be of some use filling in.
