Oil logged ball
« on: March 21, 2014, 07:53:35 AM »
Help! My teammate's first blood is oil logged, and we can't get the oil out. He has done 3 oil baths, and he saw oil pouring out of it. Afterwards, he rubbed it down with acetone, against my advice. The ball felt like new, but after a four game tournament, a couple practice games, and one game of league, it was back to being oil logged and hit like a pool noodle. Is there a way to get all the oil out and make it last longer? There isn't an oven in the area, or I would have him use that.

You'll waste much more time and energy trying to make your own as opposed to paying 20 bucks for a Detox treatment . .

As for it Being a waste of time and money to build one, it would be like any Diy project and in the eye of the builder! if it was a waste of time and money.

Yeah $20 isn't bad and if your not into diy projects it's the way to go take it to the shop.

(of course you would have to have a pro-shop that has one nearby. And depending on how many balls you have and how many times you have it done.....)

But considering all the DIY ball spinners, Dehydrator de-oilers, ball rack builders on here and the others forums. A diy ultrasonic parts cleaner ( I mean ball cleaner) isn't a big deal. No harm suggesting the idea.

True, no offense intended.  Just used to seeing people put dozens of hours and hundreds of dollars into stuff just to save a few bucks at the shop . . but I will say it's nice to be able to do stuff yourself.

There's also a bit of sensitivity to it too I suppose, I'm used to people saying, "well I could do this for a lot cheaper," the insinuation being that we're ripping them off or gouging them.  Lol just too quick to get defensive I suppose

For those that haven't seen it or heard of it yet.  I don't know how much it costs, but the results appear to be there.

Price listed on the Jayhawk website is $1,795.  --  JohnP

Gizmo, look at the quotes in John's last post.  Look at the dates on the two quoted posts by John that are bracketing yours.

For the $$$ this looks like a good buy. If your more of a diy person.....I (and im sure a bunch of others around here) did the same thing with a food dehidraytor, 4 extra rings and a digital temp guage for right at $100 and it works great.
