Question
« on: September 25, 2004, 03:56:33 PM »
Dear reader,

I have a question that I would like to ask. What's the difference between bowling ball polish and wood polish? If I apply wood polish to a bowling ball, for those of you who had done this before, what would happened to the reaction? After applying wood polish to a bowling ball would the ball react like a urethane since the pores are clogged? Or would it react like a polished reactive bowling ball? Please give me as much information on the difference between the two polishes and the reaction of the ball.

Thanks,
-Patrick

BornToBowl -- The main difference is that wood polish is made for wood, and may thus contain waxes.  Bowling ball polish is made for bowling balls and does not contain any materials that might plug the pores.  Use anything besides bowling ball polish at your own risk.  But, you know, bowling ball polish just might work quite well on wood.  I'll have to try it the next time I do a project.  --  JohnP
