Motiv Gel Scuff first use... What is this?
« on: November 30, 2016, 11:07:52 PM »
I bought a new bottle of Gel Scuff (yes the bottle says scuff)... It arrived today. Simple directions. Shake well, apply thick coat, let it dry for an hour, brush or vacuum residue.

Huh?

I shook it very well, but all that comes out is a gritty white foam (gel?.... not really) that is thick until you rub it on. The consistency on the ball itself is like CnD.. It ends up an hour later as a nearly invisible layer with white grit all over the ball. There's really nothing to brush off, and I'd never ever use the word vacuum in describing it...

Is it really a thick layer that drys to a powder? I'm getting nothing like that at all....
And before you ask... yes, i re-did it, shook it again, etc... This is a foam, not what I'd call a gel like CnD or similar.

I'll just add this...though I have thread jacked this and sorry to the OP. 

I do as Bowler19525 does use an alcohol based cleaner at the lanes after bowling.  My choice is Remedy RX.  I do use stronger cleaner both Hook-IT and C&D at home with PPE.  You can pick up a  box of 7mil latex gloves at Harbor Freight for around $6 box that will last forever.  Any cleaner that removes flare lines is strong stuff IMO.  Hence the point of PPE....I started using PPE/gloves after my friend experienced this prior to that I did not unless using acetone.  I use acetone regularly in my golf clubmaking/fitting business.  So, I always have gloves on hand.  I also wash my hands thoroughly afterwards.  If you want more info. get an SDS (safety data sheet) from any of these products.  SDS's should be available from any manufacturer.
