My homemade bowling ball rejuvenator, $60.00
« on: December 25, 2013, 12:16:25 AM »
I built this bowling ball rejuvenator from a dehydrator, igloo cooler, and miscellaneous small parts.
dehydrator - $40
igloo cooler - $14
miscellaneous small parts - $8

The temperature will go up to 190 degrees but when de-oiling balls I keep the temperature around 150 degrees. It works great!!!! Let me know what you think, pretty cool isn't it?

…… you can't  add a physics term to a bowling term and expect it to mean something.

Great job! You know you can go on line and buy specific, oil absorbing rags for setting the balls on to catch the oil, and /or wipe off excess oil still on the balls.

Also, if you check with Mo Pinel, I think he'll tell you that the optimim heat rate to use is 120-130, and no higher. Higher than 130 tends to allow the plasticizers to escape from the ball, WITH the oil.......causing ball death to happen sooner.

Can this homemade rejuvenator keep the temperatures to only 130?

yes the dehydrator has a nod to increase or decrease the temperature. The temp can be adjusted from Lo - 90* all the way upto HI - 190*.

I will check out the oil absorbing rags. The vid below is where I picked up my idea.
