Just my part in trying to save the planet!!
    the kind of rolling pin you use to make cracker crumbs with out of crackers and flatten dough with that you use in making pasta and lasagna and and pizza and all that good food?

    Just send me a Drum, 80 gal, (why mess with the small stuff), with prepaid postage, and I will, (after collecting enough oil from my rags), send it your way!!

    I wash mine once a month. A little tip go to Walmart and but a pack or 2 of towels in the automotive section. 2 towels are like $2-$3. I use them clean them and then just replace them every 3 or 4 months. Hell for how cheap they are use them for a month and then toss them out.

    Costco and Sam's have great deals on large bundles,,, something like 12.00 bucks for a couple dozen,,, cheaper then Walmart! I could be wrong on the amount and price,, but I remember thinking at the time, what a good deal it was compared to other places. I will take a look today and get back!

    I wash mine about once every 2 months never had a prob. I keep one in my bag to wipe oil off after every shot and one at home to clean with using the power house ball cleaner both are the Dv8 ones that came in the boxes when I ordered from Bowlingball.com they did not take Em out like the pro shops do .
