If the pores of a reactive resin shell 'supposedly' (according to you and your source) remain larger after a scalding [which means "to subject to the action of boiling water or steam", (Merriam Webster, scalding)] hot water bath, wouldn't that mean that professional rejuvenation ovens used by proshops would have the same effect?  In essence, wouldn't that mean that proshops have damaged thousand of bowling balls?

Maybe I'm taking this in wrong, but scalding means boiling (or extremely hot).  However, as you have stated, your interpretation of scalding means 'hot but not boiling'.  Majority of people here already know that bowlings balls should not be kept as extreme temperatures - hot or cold.  Warm water, approximately 66*C (150*F) is still 34*C from boiling.  I stronly believe the information you're spurting out is false.

Thanks for the info xwenhan.  Regardless, the fact that subjecting any bowling ball to extremely hot temperatures will ruin it remains true.

Hmmm, ive done this before and have had no problems. With the hottest tap water possible and some detergent soap. Might do this this sat. on my vapor zone and rampage as they both have 100+ games on them.

I'm not sure about your Swamp Monster but it really worked well on my Ultimate Inferno. Mustered at least 5-10 boards more out of it than normal. That and add taking the high gloss polish off it with a grey pad. I'm kinda PO that I traded it away just when I started liking it a lot.

Only One More Ball I Promise

Yes its really work. The first time i heard that is @ Simmer. And they did Put a EPX in a kind of hot water and we can see the oil come out. And you can also put CPR ( from Columbia ) in the hot water too, it will give you abit more hook then out of the box.

ONE MORE THING. If you using Thumb Slug please check glue or slug will it too loess. Cause mine thumb slug go abit deeper after put the the EPX in abit too hot hot water. As you all know EPX is a little bit easy to get crack so please take a good care of yours EPX.
