Weird Conditions

So, my local bowling center has a pretty terrible AC system. It can't keep up with a full house of bowlers, whatsoever.

When it gets really warm in there (80-90 degrees), I notice that my ball starts coming back with an oil "smear" all over it, and I can't get a reaction on the backend to save my life. Is this more likely a carry-down effect, or an actual change in the oil itself?

I noticed this too over the summer and our PSO told me it was because of the moisture in the air that the oil just didn't dry up as much. Who knows...lol

Sounds like they need to change the ball wipes at the top of the ball return ramp a little more often. If they get too saturated especially with a warm building your ball will come back coated in oil, not just the track rings. We change them on Monday's and Thursdays every week.
