    Im NOT saying to do it.

    But a lot of clothes dryers come with a removable shoe drying rack. You could put that in there, then sit the ball on it. Im just guessing though, that even on the lowest setting it would get to hot.

    and Kev - I am actually lucky enough to find the one woman that will put up with me and my crazy antics. Happily married for a year and a half.
    It's great when you get it right. But a dryer sheet will kill the hook, it's basically just a lubricant. Though, it's true that lubrication is our friend.

    Word of caution....I baked several balls in my house oven at 170 degrees. Worked great on the balls but about a week later when I went to use the oven it smoke a tiny bit and smelled a little. Your suggestion definitely sounds safer as mixing lane conditioner and food can't be very good.
