Resurfacing Rattler and Twisted Destruction
« on: March 07, 2009, 03:06:13 AM »
I just got back from bowling a tourney last weekend in a house with OLD beat up  wood lanes. Needless to say my new balls are pretty beat up now. I would like to resurface them and take them back to out of box condition. Problem is I can't find what the surface under the Rough Buff and Factory High gloss. Does anyone know these grits? As always thanks for your help.

I was going to point you to the Brunswick website but on the Twisted Destruction page it doesn't show the underlying grit level. For Rough Buff finished balls, it's usually 220 grit. (The original Twisted Fury Pearl used 400 grit under ROugh Buff. That IS on the TFP web page.)

For polished balls like the Rattler, it's ususally 400 grit.

charlest won't steer you wrong on the correct resurfacing. however, remember after 50-75 games have the balls run thru the rejuvenator or revivor to have the absorbed lane oil removed.

Thank you  gentleman. Gregg It's more of a looks like it got rolled down parking lot. Tough Old wood lanes. But thanks for the suggestion.

Also remember with resurfacing you don't have to smooth out every little tiny scratch or every big one. You don't want to make the ball too small. A few large ones will remain, when it's as bad as you indicate. Start with 180 grit or 220 grit and lots of water. (The painter's abrasive that looks like a window screen is great for the initial attack of a resurfacing.)

Good luck.
