Resurface
« on: April 15, 2010, 03:23:46 AM »
Hey all,
I had a huge gouge taken out of my Rogue Cell
The pro shop at the lanes buffed out the gouge but how do I get it back to its out of box finish?
Any suggestions.
Thanks

The bottom line is the ball will never be factory again.  The smartest thing you can do if you change surfaces often is once you get a ball sand it down some then take it back to your version of OOB.  Of course it won't be factory OOB but atleast it will be a surface that is easier to duplicate.

You can get very close as long as when first doing the process you use new pads.

500 Grit Abralon pad - sand for 15 seconds on 4 sides of the ball
4000 Grit Abralon pad - sand for 60 seconds on 4 sides of the ball

Then one bad thing about 4000 grit is it wears down fairly fast and 4000 grit Abralon pads hold in some of the oil that was on the surface and when re using a 4000 pad it will shine a ball more than it will sand it but if you do the process i suggested it will be very close
