What kind of tank is it? Did you line the inside with aluminum foil (or any metal) to help distribute the heat evenly? Can't wait to see if it works.
Homemade bowling oven!!!!
What do you think guys?!?! Ill let you know if it works after i do a couple balls. The light should only heat the tank to about 110-120. Hope i dont melt any balls!

Ive always had my doubts about baking a ball, but I think im in the minority on that. Ya never know! It might work wonders!

The tank is a 25 gallon reptile aquarium and it is lined with insulation all inside so this thing is made for keeping heat in. i wish i had a better top to help keep the heat in. might have to buy a real aquarium top instead of a bbq grill rack.Originally Posted by billf

Even some ball companies have honed in on that action. That's why they are now selling "rejuvenator ovens" to pro shops. The trick is not to go above 130°f and let it cool gradually.

I've accidentally done worse. I left my bowling balls in the trunk of the car last year during the summer. Balls still work fine but it was truly disgusting how much oil they sweated out.
Some proshops use them. I was thinking of stealing my niece's Barbie oven. Don't tell my sister.
I live by three simples rules:
1. Don't ever ask about my business
2. Never discuss business at the table
3. Don't ever side with anyone against the family
Looks neat, i would say turn it on with a thermometer in it before a ball just to see how hot it gets, and adjust the heat source accordingly. otherwise, looks like a great idea, i do have a terrarium in the basement somewhere...
