    it does work but you have to be careful cuz you could melt your ball if left unattended. I seal a box, cut a hole for a hair dryer and make sure that its blowing on one of the walls and not the ball itself also rotate each time you put it back in. I do it for ten min intervals watching the hair dryer and temp gauge trying to keep it between 115-130. I do it til whenever the ball stops sweating which is usually 45 min-1hr. I then take out the warm ball and put it in another box on the floor so that it can cool down slower than if i had it just sitting out in the open.

    Anybody notice the new Hammer product, "The Wave" saw it on line during a recent on-line showcase at the US Open in Reno at the Hammer Booth. Just a tub of hot water that is run through a filter. Said the water is kept at 140 and it only takes 45 minutes. I have heard mixed reports on if it is ok to dunk your ball in water.

    My biggest thing is that your ball can soak up oil, so I'm sure that it can also soak up water...since water can air dry, is that O.K.??

    Many people use the water bucket method when cleaning bowling ball, so it should be ok. Of course, using The Wave, it's kept underwater for about 45 minutes. Water can dry, but the only issue I've read is that it's very messy. And you also have to use allot of chemicals. You can probably go the cheaper route and use Simple Green. Another issue is that lighter balls will float. At $1900 (USD), it's allot more expensive that the old tested and used by several pro shops, Innovative Revivor oven ($1700).
