beans sauce imo
« on: October 29, 2008, 02:02:57 PM »
as promised
1000k on my BB then applied sauce as per Mr. Beans recomendation
honestly it did not work out so hot for me
it went too long
the ball was too slick and just kept skidding
i worked the hell out of my ball sanding 4 sides and polished 4 sides
the shine was like no other, and maybe i need to adjust the was i apply it, but my initial reaction was that i cant wait to take it off my ball.
sorry beans just giving my honest opinion

my reaction was like a dragster that couldnt get his tires to " hook up "

yeah like a burn out, and i was reving the heLL out of it
keeping my fingers all the way in it, and it just wouldnt bite

I've used Bean's SS since he started to advertise it on this site and it's a very good product but it's different than the other polishes I've used. In my opinion there is a bit of a learning curve. I'm not saying that's a good or bad thing that just my experience.

My initial reaction to your post is that you may have used too much polish and/or too much pressure (heat.) The SS creates a high gloss shine quickly, IMO there is no need to "burn in" the polish. Also it doesn't take a lot of polish. You literally need only a couples drops per side.

Also you may want to consider starting with more surface. In my experiments with the SS, I've found that a maroon pad plus two light coats of SS creates a "standard" polished finish. For more length I start with a green pad.

Have fun experimenting!

for me I never saw this super skid that others have talked about. But even with that being said I dont think its all that great.

heres my take...

pros:
its very very efficient and will polish a LOT of balls.
promotes good skid with moderate backend (nothing spectacular or better then other polishes)
polishes just about anything due to it having a form of grit in it.

CAN polish an entire ball by hand with VERY little effort and it does work well. for me this was the only thing I really liked about it.

cons:
No directions on how to apply (its easy to mess it up seeing as all you need are drops of it and water)
all it says is use a small amount. but everyone sees that as a different amount.

too many variables to get the same surface everytime. it ends up more of a mystery surface but I blame that mostly on the fact that it requires an unsaid amount of water and that pressure will effect the grit just like all polishes that use grit or are a compound type of polish.


with that said... its an excellent product, theres no doubt in that. but the hype behind it is just that... hype.

IMO a gritless polish is the way to go if your after the easiest way to change ball reaction and make it easy to repeat again and again. plus I dont see much difference from product to product like beans has claimed. His product has done something that no one else has... polish in a very different way. but to me its the end result and it acts like any other polish. the ball skids and then when the surface sees enough friction it rolls and hooks.

good stuff... but not what I will be using on my stuff.

I just got some more and just put it on my 900 global link it made it at least 5 foot longer and 6 boards weaker.  This stuff is amazing it looks like a marble with so little polish it is absolutely the best polish on the market.

If the ball is going too long try about 400 grit underneath the polish. I had to do that and it helped quite a bit.

yeah its like i said earlier

im used to puttin globs on there

i probably used too much, and i definatley " burned " it in

i spent plenty of time on each side burning it in.

i sure i will find the winning combination eventually

i dont get alot of time to practice so unfortunatly my battleground to figure this out is on league night.

First things first....

Sanding 4 sides of the ball in my opinion is unneccessary on todays balls being they are so soft and porous.

Polishing (4) sides with the Secret Sauce is asking for trouble. You can honestly get the ball too smooth if you use too much polish or use too high of a starting grit. It is a little trial and error as far as your prep is concerned. The reactions are going to be much different in a rev challenged bowler as opposed to a rev dominant player.

I stated that I NEVER sand the ball higher than 1000 grit abralon before the sauce. That is my ceiling grit for the smoothest ball and the smoothest reaction. It is overkill for certain styles.

Bowlerdawg...
Try 400-600 wet paper on (2) sides and aplly 3-4 drops of polish on a damp polishing cloth/rag. Do not add anymore polish before doing the bottom side. Just squirt towel with water and apply. Use moderate pressure. The longer you polish the ball the smoother the ending grit will be..

Hope this helps...

thanks beans and for the record im not rev challenged

i must have went overboard BIGTIME

i'll try 500 ( abralon ) grit 2 sides, and ALOT LESS SAUCE next time

i can tell its a good product, but not having used it or worked w/ it before i was on a learning curve

a probably could have tried some diffrent lines, and it would have worked fine, but i didnt

i will of course keep you posted on my progress or lack there of

Remember, 500 Abralon is equivalent to roughly 250 grit is wet/dry paper.  --  JohnP
