WHY???????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
« on: October 28, 2006, 02:49:05 PM »
Why does Ebonite continue to put those DAMNED gooey stickers on the One series??????????????????? A gummy label is all thats necessary!!!!! You can peel them off without residue. Nothing pisses me off more than wiping, spraying, degooping these damn balls. Alky, acetone, nothing works well. EBO........PLEASE STOP!!!

We were told at the no mercy seminar that they will no longer be on the balls anymore.You might still find some on some of the one's that already made.

The best stuff to use is the tape residue remover that comes in the little packets.  Works like a champ!!!

GREG T,   try using WD-40 SILICONE SPRAY. it will remove the glue.
and i agree with you,  those stickers are annoying.  especially if your busy.

one would think that by now,  pro shops have got the idea how how to drill the one series balls.

Ebonite needs to find a better glue for the stickers or a different printer.  The glue is impossible to get off clean.  Ebonite reps, if you reading these posts, INVEST IN STICKER WITH A BETTER GLUE

dan / greg,  all i do is have my girl use the wd-40 on the ball.  it quickly removes the sticker and glue.  she does this while i am fitting the customer.

actually,  it was my girl who came up with the idea of using WD-40 to remove the glue.

Yeah, that's got to be the absolute dumbest idea anyone's ever come up with, I don't know who thought it would be helpful, it was just annoying as hell.

its real easy to get the goo off the one series balls. john gaines the ebonite rep in the south showed me this. take a piece off paper 8x11 fold in half and put the ball in the ball spinner and press the paper on the goo as it spins it will come off in about 2 minutes.


 Now here is a plausible idea. Thank you. I'll try it.

eric,  your kidding right????
your going to hold a thin piece of paper on a ball in a ball spinner????

we drill a one series ball just about daily.  
we use WD-40 to remove the tacky glue caused by the yellow sticker.
it works for us.

holding a thin piece of paper against a ball while in a ball spinner???
now that's far out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

eric,  was just about to put it to the test today.
went to drill up a angular one.  took it out of the box and went to the spinner.
got the paper,  folded it and then i felt like chevy chase in vacation.  when he could not find the gas tank.

i forgot what hammer person said,  there is no sticker on the angular one.

oh well.
