Title: BCB Coverstock preparation...........
Post by: nd300 on January 20, 2006, 03:02:30 AM
I've got a BCB that I'd like to adjust the cover on. It's currently in the matte state right now with a stacked drilling---pin to the right and slightly above the ring finger with the Cg stacked vertically in line with the pin. There is an X-hole in the thumb postitive quadrant. I liek the reaction that I'm getting but would like to increase the "grab", if you will, a little earlier.
 I've read on here that the cover on this ball is a little particular about adjustments and doesn't seem to handle it well. I'd like to hae the pro shop guy use Hook-It on the ball.
 Will this ruin the reaction,or do as it says on the spray bottle and give the ball a little more reaction??? I do clean all my stuff with alcohol after use in league,and during league also,plus I get them cleanes with reactive cleaner once a week. The cleaning I'm doing before league is on the spinner with a microfiber towel, and hand cleaning with the same towel during league.
 Thanks in advance for all replies.........

I would stop using alcohol to clean the ball because it has oil in it. =:^D

The ball or the oil?  I've looked at the ingredients for rubbing alcohol online and wasn't able to confirm the presence of oil.  I did find other additives that you might not want to expose your ball to though.

As far as using only alcohol I don't think it is a good idea since it doesn't really remove oil, it mostly smears it around.  Nothing works as well at removing surface oil and dirt as Clean and Dull IMHO.
