Thanks to Method noticing a major flaw my final product has been modified and finished. It is now much more efficient.

Any one else make one similar or different post it on here for others to see as well. The more help the better.

Going to start working on one for myself based off the bin type. Using a Nesco FD-80 I already own. If it comes out any different from the first one posted here, I'll post pics. But right now I'm planning on using the exact same method. Sandwich the bin lid in between the pieces of the Nesco lid.

Thank you so much for posting this. Would have never thought of trying it.

Got it right on the 2nd try. Stupid me for not checking what size hole I was cutting in the lid. Made it too big. Dropped my only blade to my scroll saw as well. It bounced sonewhere on thr dsrk carpeted floor. Couldn't find it. Ended up using a saws all blade by hand. Wrapped a rag around it. Worked remarkably well.

Mine is being tested as I type. Old ball that we don't have a used for and isn't worth giving away. Used the same method as kidlost2000. Only issue is my temp selector knob doesn't reach it's post anymore. Not too bad. It's notched and can be turned by screwdriver. Easy to know the temp as the notch lines up. Honestly prevents me from hitting it by accident and changing the temp.

very awesome

Yes it will stop. I've not gone over two hours and it was just as a test. There is no average. Just check every 15-20 minutes till there's no oil then you are done. Usually an hour tops

Great thread, thanks to Kidlost for posting this. I used the Nesco dehidrater and just bought the 4 extra trays, cut the centers out and it works great!

Awesome job.

I've not got much oil out of my bowling equipment because most are polished and most have less then ten games. I did clean one for my brothers the other day that really appeared to lose its reaction on the lanes. Hit the ball with 360grit to open up the pores and into the oven the ball went.

Checked on the ball after 15 minutes and it was soaked in oil. This went on for over an hour. Checked every 15-20 minutes and wiped the ball off. Took a couple pics of it towards the end where it was starting to stop sweating so much. At an 1 hour 45 minutes it was done. Let it go another 15-20 minutes just to make sure. Was very happy to see how well it worked on a ball that really needed it.
