Hi people,
Just wanted to get peoples advice regarding extracting oil from a ball's surface? I just extracted oil for the first time from 2 bowling balls which are a couple months old by placing them in front of a small room heater and the oil just kept coming out. I wiped the excess oil off using a seesaw but the oil won't stop coming out! I've now wiped it dry 6 times and it's still extracting out of the surface!
I've been told submerging the balls in a bathtub of hot water is also a great way to extract the oil. I'd like to know which method extracts the oil more quickly.
Once all the oil is extracted, how should the ball react on the lane? Should there be a significant amount of more friction as a result?
By extracting excess oil regularly from a ball, will it prolong the life of the ball? How often should this be done?
Does oil extraction need only apply to coverstocks such as grit/matte/abralon and not pearl/polished coverstocks?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks guys!
