Thanks... just wanted to be sure since I know this stuff is old and the bottle wasn't sealed.  I thought the liquid portion might have evaporated.

Not sure if you've used it before, but I always suggest you leave it in the bag for 12-24 hours, not the 4 they say. I found it takes longer to get the oil out than what it says.

I haven't used it before, but had already planned on leaving it in for about 24 hours.

My local shop uses Hook Again and likes to leave equipment in the media for 3-4 days.  He even freed up some space in his shop last year by selling his old Rejuvenator oven.  More space for Hook Again chambers.

As a 'main' I use Abzorbit. It's a lot like the Power House stuff. I always leave it in the bag/container for 24 hours. I turn it every 3-6 hours depending on how bad the ball is. I'm not a big "oven" person but sure do believe in the Power House/CPR/Abzorbit. Just need to make sure you don't breath it in....that's a BAD thing !

When I first heard about it here, I went to my local Lowe's and asked about it. They looked at me like I had asked them for their first born child and I had horns growing out of my head. It seems it's available from their online store, but like Home Depot nowadays, no one there has any idea what products they carry or where they might be located.

On the Lowes site it shows they carry it on line, but unavailable to most zips I put in. Price is with in pennies.

Not all Lowe's stores carry the same products.  Even here in OKC, my store has different items than other stores in town.  They "try" to tailor the products in the store to the local expected clientele.

I will check for you guys about the Abzorbit stuff, I don't recall us having it either.  Many times it is a vendor problem.  Lowe's or the orange box will have issues getting the product from the vendor, so they stop carrying it in that region, district, whatever.

azguy, I also call Lowe's "The Man Mall".  I love working there, love the products.  Hate the schedule and my supervisor is a dick.  Schedule doesn't allow me to bowl leagues, ugg.

Mike,

I'm starting to hate Lowes...not because of the store but when I walk in...I have money. When I walk out...I'm with the "Big 3", looking to the Govt for a hand-out !..lol

I could spend most of the day there just don't have the money to do that ! Dang store, taking all my hard earned money !

I'll be going back in the morning, I'll have to look and see if mine still has it. It was with the paints, clean-up section. I know the big bag I bought it still 3/4 full. It doesn't take much to do the trick. I do so many customer's balls, just figured I'd get the "super-size" bag and now I'm glad I did.
