Bake vs Bath?

[tccstudent]

When you had your practice game were YOU FOLLOWING THOUGH with your delivery???? Most have remarkable results that have baked?
!

I dont have a problem with not following through I fixed that long long time ago
There was a little bit of carry down on the lanes I was on and the lanes felt a little slick.
My normal throw was looking like all the energy was burned up right before it hit. Maybe the lanes were just to slick for this ball. Now I was getting some movement probably about the same amount of movement as I was getting before I dropped the ball off. I was expecting to get something with a much stronger snap on the back end once I got it back.

The surface?? I know you got the oil baked out, but what about resurface, and what grit? I know from my experience, playing with different surface grits,,, 500, 1000, 2000, 4000, can make a HUGE difference!

You know that last 300 a few months ago, I actually posted me giving my Virtual Gravity nano a bath! I also used a 180 grit on the ball four sides before putting it in the hot water, with Dawn Soap!

I then took it up to 500, 2000 and then put reacta shine on the ball..... WORKED FOR ME LOL>>>> 300game a week later!

That ball was dead before the bath and resurface!!

We resurfaced it back to its original oob finish which is 1000. At 1000 it should grab pretty good. Maybe the ball is just dead I have had this ball since in came out in 4 years ago. It has been my #1 go to ball during all that time. Right now I think my ball that I won (Reign On) is the best ball that I have for the 3 houses I have used it in I have been over 600 in the last three appearances.

MY dehydrator came today!!! NOW to make it bowling ball compatible! Need to cut about 10,000 plastic do-dads off to open up the center for the ball! Then 10,000 more when the 2 extra sets of double rings arrive tomorrow!

Will my Red Alien come back to life???? That was one heck of a ball before it became saturated dripping wet with lane oil. It will be my experimental first ball!

Can't wait to see how much oil comes out!

Let us know how much time is spent cutting all of the rings and any tips you come with along the way. I am seriously considering doing the same thing soon.

i use the hot water method , put the ball in a bucket and let the shower run hot water on it slowly for an hour , works great

Just my experience in prepping my dehydrator: Took me about 45 minutes to an hour to cut out all the center pieces of plastic. I could not find my dremmel, or I could have been done in about 5 minutes....

Mine came with a silicone 'drip pan' for the bottom and I just left it in there to catch all the oil. Also, the center ring of the trays that you cut out can be used as Ball Stands!

As a final item--- I have a fairly high end food thermometer that I use as a back up since I don't really trust the temperature gauge on the dehydrator. I just set the alarm at 130 and walk away....so far the dehydrator has kept really constant temp and I have not had to fool around with it once since I got it set.

GREAT MINDS THINK ALIKE!! LOL I used my dremmel myself, only took about 15 minutes, plus it did a great job!
Also The ring in the middle does make a nice ball holder, came up with that idea before reading your thoughts.. LOL

I do need to get a temp gauge, and maybe an automatic timer, that you plug into, that can be set for what ever time you want, then it turns off automatically!

This has been one great piece of information that has saved Iceman $$$$$$$ ! Thanks !

Now I can sweat the oil out of my ball, while making beef jerky at the same time!!! Iceman isn't no JERK!! (

This is what you need Iceman: http://idevicesinc.com/igrill/igrillmini.php

They have an older version for Android as well that is about $80 (on Amazon). The Android version of the new one is coming out sometime soon (I hope because I am waiting - will use this to grill and make beer, etc.).

But this device you could monitor from anywhere in the house right on your phone.

Looks interesting, but it looks like its designed to go on the out side of a heating devise. It states that its magnetic!

So I wonder if it could be put inside the cooker.... I didn't read all the info,,, will go back and see JUST HOW IT WORKS... thanks mudpuppy!
