I am redoing the surfaces on my Super Carbide Bomb and Pearl Carbide with trizact paper. Problems that I am having is that I keep getting lines(looks like scratches) when I am using this stuff. I am doing all 6 1/2s (on a spinner) and haven't figured out how to get rid of these things look like x marks the spot marks. The paper is the 5" round ones that are cut in a x in the center. Thinking about taping up the backs so that the paper is solid again. Any thoughts.

Don't tape em just rip em apart
and use the 1/4's makes it last a lot
LONGER TOO!!!! I did the same thing.
it works and I have spent money on trizact only
once in 5 years!!! I is CHEEPNESS defined!!

My major question is did you ask Lane#1 what is the stock finish on these balls and are you using that Trizact grit?

Are you using water, just like any other sandpaper? If not, you should. Using the cerium oxide I got no lines; some of the other are fairly rough and can have some residual lines left in the resin base. A used nylon grey or green pad can help smooth out those lines.

Ok, I'll try tearing one apart. No I didn't ask lane 1, one of the guys here said to use 10 on the super. I'll give it a try and see what gives. I know one thing, I used the blue trizact on my pearl carbide, shot 267 1st night, 1st game with it on Weds. Definitely revitalized that ball.

If you are in heavy oil 35 on the
Super Bomb is better. I think this
cover is from the HPH and that is what
the HPH came from the factory at.
I have my Pearl Carbide Bomb at very
well used 35 micron trizact.

Seems like if you have to sand a pearlized ball to 320-400 grit, then it is very much the wrong ball to begin with??

Charles:

If you remember the definition of trizact, it is a polishing
SYSTEM. Therefore the 35 micron on a pearlized ball just
gives it a bit more drive. Did you also notice that I SAID
a very well used piece of 35 trizact.

First question is I know you are using the Trizact disks but are you using the big Trizact sanding block (orange, like handling a grapefruit). Is so and using that really make sure the disk is in the middle and not on the outer edge. If so it will make lines. Just apply enough pressure to light sand and and not kill. No matter what you use you might get lines, spray the ball alot with water to help clean out stuff.

Use 35 micron on SCB. On your Pearl use 10 (or the lowest) and polish up. You really shouldn't be sanding your pearl unless its tracked out.

Sorry; don't remember that. I know it is a FINISHING SYSTEM. After all trizact is just another form of sandpaper. The super-fie cerium oxide is so Hyper/Mega-fine it will put a polish on most Brunswick particle based balls. The others will not polish because they are not fine.

3M has said use does not change the grit on Trizact. like it does with normal sandpaper. SO well used 35 micron is still 35 micron - 320-400 grit. Well used silicon carbide 320 grit sandpaper can get down to 600-800 grit. But who am I to agree with success? If it gives you what you need, fine.

Buzzsaw Mike, no I am just using the small 5" round ones. Cut one apart like Buzz said, took out the lines on the Super Bomb. I re-did the pearl carbide I have, did not get the lines totally out of it but I did use the blue paper on it and put somewhat of a shine on it. I do not think that this ball came dull. Anyway I am going to keep it with this surface on it. Sure worked well when I finally used it. Now if I could just keep the operator error out of the equation.
