Hockeynut,
When brickguy says, "soaker", I think he means Dyno-Thane's Soaker coverstocks, so it should be capitalized. There aren't any out currently but there are plenty of DT SOaker coverstocks still in use. I have a Thung Returns and a Thing Lives.
No, you shouldn't use the Elixer on Soaker coverstocks or on those with no "coverstock death" problems, like Lanemasters and Visionary balls. The new Cell which is supposed to have a coverstock that also absorbs a lot less oil may also be a candidate. I suppose that "shouldn't use" should be "do not have to use", s they do not need this protection.
On Ebonite-made balls whose hooking ability depends on rapid oil absorption (at least according to Ebonite, they do), I wonder what the results would be. I do know that on certain balls, the Elixer made the ball go slightly longer; so that if it's original finish was 2000 grit, you might need to surface the ball to 1500 grit BEFORE applying your two coats of the ELixer.
