Well talking with our pro shop guy and letting us know what to set it on and how long don't think you could mess up no more then them. Had a ball crack because I could not get my pro shop guy at the time to do anything for me. Kept telling me it was not shiny enough so the oiled up. It was a solid ball and when it cracked looked like a pearl.
Texanol is the material used in a bowling ball. I noticed the ball hadn't absorbed it in the amount of time this video was going. Would balls reabsorb fresh texanol aka ester alcohol?
I don't think it's correct to assume the oil stays in the area only where the ball touches the oil on the lane. The capillary effect soaks the oil over time in the whole surface even if you wipe the ball after every shot. Not a fan of detoxing or heating the ball to resurrect the surface of a ball
Curious question, once a bowling ball has lost its layer of plasticizer, is its performance gone forever? For example, if I've had a mishap with a Detox machine and left the ball in longer than I should've (without it cracking)
There is a lot of plasticizer in the ball. Over time the ball will lose performance when it all is gone. So Fresh and So Clean will help restore the performance
No sticking it in a regular oven not smart. We have done our deoiling of our balls for awhile now. Some can not afford to take to proshop every time it needs it. You should be telling how and not scaring people about doing it themselves
Doing it yourself is a choice, a bad one but a choice. The facts are what they are. We are simply educating people on what happens to the ball when you expose it to heat.
I put the ball in the oven at 35 degrees, did this 5 times for about 10 minutes. And the oil ran out. thx fot the tip.
Detox a bowling ball with the PBA blue oil. See what it does
Mine cracked just sitting in the bag over the summer but I did heat it last spring to get the oil out. Now I know better! Thanks for this info!
Brian Cloutier your ball didn’t crack so to hearing from over last spring ago. It was due to not maintaining and cleaning the ball over the summer.
The science behind bowling. I love it bro!
I baked a new ball and no oil or plasticizer came out. After two months I tried it again and it got real shiny. I'm forced to assume it was lane oil.

Watch one PBA show where they use the Blue oil and you may change your mind.
For smart guy Mr. Hickman

So whats your method?
@@jovanlouis4791 We recommend using the Detox Machine as shown in this video. We are explaining what is happening when its used.
