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.

i wanna do the oven because i know that is the best way to pull the oil out, but then again i dont wanna kill the ball and truly hate myself after.

If you have a Convection Oven and set it on the lowest temperature, it will do the same thing as a revivor does. The Convection Oven has a fan that keeps the air circulating, thus no hot spots. Before moving from the country to town 2 years ago, we had a Convection Oven and I used it on my balls all the time, leaving them in the oven 10-15 minutes at a time before removing the ball. The ball would get only warm and never hot.

 

The house we moved to in town doesn't have a Convection Oven, only a standard oven, so I haven't gotten up the courage yet to try it and not sure I will with a regular oven, but Dave800 has ne thinking about it though.

i have a friend who tried the home oven on a virtual energy the cover of the ball came out looking like the ground out in the desert, cracks running all through it. the oven it to hot, even at its lowest temp. also the ball is not rotating, i would not try it. now this will sound wierd, but it has worked on all my bowling balls for many many years. go to your local pro shop buy a ball cup, buy the required aberlon pad for the ball you are de-oiling, get in the shower & take a nice hot shower with the ball. use some dishsoap & the aberlon pad & you`ll be pleasantly suprised. i use a shower so i dont have to keep checking the water for to much oil.

I ended up trying the oven technique. I said WTH. You would not believe the OUNCES of oil that came out. it took 12 times in an out with a time of 8 mins in at 175 degrees. I must have had enough oil to change the oil in my car lol lol jk. But anyways oven technique worked great!!! ball is now at least 15 boards stronger and starts up feet earlier.

seems to me that you need to find a compentent pro shop that knows how to use a revivor oven and just get it baked there!!!my pro shop only charges me a very small fee to do this and it works great!!no putting it in a regular oven or dishwasher!!!

Go hard or go home!!!!!Bowl your best...ALWAYS!!!

At 175 you may have gotten plasticizers as well as oil.  How did the ball do on the lanes?  --  JohnP

The ball worked like new. Hooked a ton more than i ever saw the ball hook. And it wasnt the lane condition, it was the ball. Because i threw my 2.0 and it hooked on its normal line so then i threw the mission at about board 9. right about over second arrow. and it came back to miss the head pin to the left and hit the 2 pin!!!.
