    SO, has anyone made one of the DIY deoilers using the exact same dehydrator that Dnhoffman mentioned in the original thread (the Nesco one)? The reason I'm asking is that in his original thread he mentioned using a metal thing his wife used for canning to hold the ball in place, but when I looked for ball cups they all seem to be made out of plastic (or the description doesn't even mention what it is made of). The last thing I want is something that is going to melt while in contact with my ball seems like nothing good would come of that.

    I have not tried this yet but there is a video on you tube called homemade bowling ball oven. The guy takes a big box, hair fryer, thermometer and removes the oil that way. Sounds crazy right? Check it out and if anyone decides to try it let us know how it works, maybe take an old ball first?

    I've purchased some items today that I'm going to incorporate into my dehydrator to hopefully solve the problem.

    IF it works...IF....I will post some pictures of what I came up with.

    I also read somewhere that Storm doesn't recommend baking their bowling balls. They say do the bath method

    DON'T SAY THAT, MAN!!! Aslan will read it, and next thing you know, he'll be naked in the bathtub with his bowling balls, lavender-scented bubbles, and a little loofah -- singing "Rubber Ducky"...
