Soaking bowling balls is a pain in the butt and can be messy and tedious, so id recommend you bake your bowling ball... set your oven to a low temp 150-220 degrees. Then put your ball in on a pie tin or something that is sturdy metal if youd prefer, perhaps put a micro fiber towel or two in the bottem of the pan to make sure the ball sits snug.. Then let the ball sit in there for like 5 minutes+ and then check on it, it should have tons of sweat beads, pull out the ball and quickly wipe it off with some more micro fiber towels that you should have handy, then heres the part where you can do what you want at your own descretion. I personally put the ball right back in and repeat the process about 8-10 times and most all of the oil is out.., but i have heard things like of core detachment and all that crap, hasnt happend to the 2 balls ive done it too and they were both pearls so i dunno. Thennnnn If you truely want back OOB reaction get the ball resurfaced, but try it out before you do that to see if you like the reaction or whatnot.. Umm I never pulled the tape out of my ball or the finger grips lol and nothing has seemed to have happend, i used 170 degree heat.. nn yeah. good luck to ya, if you have any questions feel free to pm me.
