Revivor question
« on: September 01, 2008, 01:18:22 AM »
I know most people sand their balls down to 320 or 500 when they soak their balls in dishwater, but is this needed when using the Revivor Oven?  A friend picked one up and I want to do a few balls, but wanted to see if I need to do this first to the balls I want done.

I agree on the Revivor being an essential pro shop tool. Easy to use, safe, effective and huge profit potential.


I've read something along the lines of using this on non-Brunswick balls is not recommended.  Could you share your opinion on this?

I have never actually seen or used a Rejuvenator, so I can't answer that one.


Is there a difference between the two?

Where did you read it??

I think a bowling ball is way less likely to be damaged in a Revivor than while be transported in a truck, train or container crossing the desert or sitting in the trunk of car.

More info is at www.innovativebowling.com


I have never actually seen or used a Rejuvenator, but I think the method of extracting oil is different. Ours is the safesr and more effective method in my opinion!

I read it at the site you provided above.  They actually say different manufacturers could have different opinions on maintaining your ball because of different coverstock technology, or something similar.  That's what I was referring to, and I wasn't sure about doing it on balls made by other companies since they only tested with Brunswick covers.

i've used the rejuvenator on my brunswick equipment for over 5 years with excellent results-----no bowling balls damaged or harmed in any way. the reason i use the rejuvenator is that in the kansas city metro area more pro shops have these. if it suddenly happened that these same pro shops started using the revivor instead i'd have no problem with one of them being used. the results are the same-----the lane oil is "sweated" out of the ball in a safe, controlled manner and almost all of the balls reaction is restored.
