mission fix.
« on: March 10, 2011, 02:03:54 AM »
Hi guys i have a original mission that i have shot all my high games with and my only 299 game with. Ive never resurfaced it or anything because ive always been afraid it will kill my ball " as my proshop did once to a jigsaw". Anyways i had it put it an oven/ rejuvinator about three months ago for half the normal time and it worked wonders shot a 299 the next week. My question is, the ball is losing its hook again, i left it in the car and the cold oil spots are showing, What would you recomend doing to get the oil out. Ball has well over 100 games if not more.

Back to the pro shop... or throw it in the dish washer.

ya but "my" proshop doesn't believe in the oven. Where i got it done was at a tournament 2 hours away. So could i do it in my oven on the lowest temp possible and just always watch it and wipe the oil off?

Whatever you do, don't put it in your oven.

 

I use a dishwasher, no detergent and without the heated dry feature. Or you can give it a hot water bath in a 5 gallon bucket with warm water and a couple of drops of dawn. Repeat until the oil doesn't seep out any longer. I have also tried the sun method. Put a ball cup in a 5 gallon bucket, put the ball on the cup and cover the entire thing with a dark colored garbage bag and sit the entire thing in the sun for a few hours.

 

But again, do not put the ball in your home oven. You might get away with it, but odds are, you will ruin the ball.

i'd suggest the following:
 
1.  find a proshop that does believe in the revivor oven
2.  try a hot water bath
 
i would not do:
 
1.  home oven technique
2.  dishwasher technique

after 30 minutes take the ball out and wipe it down, check the clarity of the water and replace water if needed.

Use the link below. Mo Pinel gives a very good description on the best way to do a hot water bath.

Little off topic but what would make you say to not do the dishwasher method? Essentially it is the same as a hot water bath.

I'm with you Bighook, I use a dishwasher exclusively and it works just fine with a lot less hassle.

@ bighook
 
that's just my preference.  i believe dishwasher water gets a lot hotter than needed.  i don't use any of these methods to be honest, but this has been what has worked for some of my customers

When I went to the release demo I asked the question awhile back. I was told in the powerhouse machine...

- 30 seconds at 500 ab
- 30 seconds at 1000 ab
- 30 seconds at 2000 ab

I have used the dishwasher many many times had no problems. On of my sons teammate had marvel that had 100+ games on it was going to get rid of it. Cleaned it with the dishwasher put the box finish on it he said it was as good as new. shot 279 in their Jr high league.
