Homemade bowling oven!!!!

You would need to be carefull. You need to keep rotating the ball to avoid a real hot spot. You also need to wipe the oil off. I have a Revivor oven and it blows hot air around the ball, as it rotates. There is also a pad on the bottom to wipe off the oil.

Also, I would get one of those laser temp gauges so you can check the actual surface temp of the ball.

I will stick with the hot soapy water bath. It is a cool idea and would love to hear how easy it is to keep a constant temp without getting too hot.

So if you had some kind of rotisserie device, a hair dryer or heat gun and a closed insulated chamber with a thermometer to check temp, you get the same effect?

Man I have heard some crazy ideas but this is just scary!

Well, the thermometer has to be set to regulate the temp, not just check the temp. Just include the pad and your all set.

The revivor oven brings out the best reaction on the ball. I have my own ball spinner as well. I've tried the hot water bath method, dishwasher method, resurface the ball, the the revivor oven. The oven works the best. Resurfacing was the 2nd best. I never found any major change when using the hot water bath or dishwasher method. I've never tried actually putting the ball in the oven. When I did the dishwasher method, I did it wrong and used the hottest setting. A few days, my ball cracked. The kitchen oven method works, somewhat, but you have to make sure you rotate the ball. You also need to put a pan underneath, to catch the oil. I've heard good & bad things about using the kitchen oven. You just have to make sure the significant other doesn't know about it.

Can you bring the oil back to the place that you bowl for a credit?
