question on fine sanding
« on: December 26, 2004, 09:04:06 AM »
how do you sand a ball to 1000 grit?  1200 grit, 1500 grit??

what materials do you use??  I cannot find any sandpaper in those grits.  a green scotch brite is around 800 so that is all I know .

thanks

Like charlest said, sandpaper isn't bad for all particle balls, but if you aren't sure and havent actually asked the company then use scotchbrite.

As for cleaning, i like to use Simple Green and water (mix it with water to make it last longer).  Maybe 2 parts water to 1 part simple green.

Wow.  Very interesting.  I'll keep in mind no to use sand paper on particle balls if I am not sure.  

HOw about cleaning it?  Would it be save to use simple green or 409?

Use common sense. Anything that is not on the unapproved list or anything that looks or smells toxic to you is bad for the the ball AND YOU!

I've come to like 409 with water or alcohol, but prefer bowling ball-specific cleaners.

NOTA BENE:

Almost all of this should be in Storm Track's ballreviews FAQ.
He went to a HUGE amount of trouble to compile and organize all that information. Let's make good use of it.
