Question about resurfacing a bowling ball ?

[Hammer]

Right now my reactive resin ball has a 4000 grit polished surface. I want to change it to a 2000 grit unpolished surface. What steps do you use for the change? Do you go to a 2000 grit Abralon pad at the start and finish with that or do you start with a 500 grit and then to a 1000 grit and finish with a 2000 grit Abralon pad ? I want to make sure I do the right steps for the change.

you can do it either way just so you remember how you did it so you can replicate the same finish the next time. Personally I like to skip a grit 500/2000, 1000/3000, 2000/4000 myself but a true 2000 is usually done by stepping up the way you described. There isn't a right or wrong as long as you can repeat it.

There are no "right steps." Start by going directly to a 2000 surface. If that isn't early enough for you, go down to 500 or 1000 and work your way up. If 2000 is too early for you, work your way up to 4000 without polish. You may find that it's just the polish that is giving you too much skid, but that a lot of surface is too early. There are many ways to skin a cat.
