DIY Rejuvenator
« on: November 03, 2009, 04:13:08 AM »
Okay, before the experts pound on me for being to cheap to support my local Pro-Stop, don''t beat me up yet, hear me out. I spend my fair share with the my Pros with the cost of new balls and plugging, redrilling ect.
IMHO: if we can do some of the basic stuff at home with simple tools and brains, why not??
All you need is an American Harvest Jet Stream Oven that you can find at a Garage Sale or Craigslist or the Salvation Army Store for 10-30.00. You need the extra 2-3 sets of expansion rings to raise it up tall enough for your ball and WA LA, you have your own rejuvenator. Yes you have to set the temp to 150 and not 300 as stated in many articles regarding "baking" your own ball in your wife''s oven. Yes, you should use a thermometer inside with your ball to protect your investment...But, come on, this is way to easy and it works perfect. It''s as good a homemade go-to as the "Drill Press Ball Spinner"
Now let the love flow.

Your bowling balls are your bowling balls and you're free to do with them as you see fit, but I think I'll avoid this one.

It may work and it may not...just not sure if its worth the chance of the ball being destroyed and something going wrong.

My pro shop guy only charges like $5 a ball...and that is when he charges at all.

It works, that's why I'm sharing the discovery.
