Just a little fun poke at each....
Maybe Ron will buy the URLs from me now, what a terrible CEO not even owning these URLs... 8)

A mix of those is NOT a approved cleaner.

thanks Aloarjr810

Removed the word "mix" from the spoof page, because even though mixing 3 approved products seems like it would be acceptable or adding water, who knows exactly what the dopey USBC would say.... Thanks again!

Lol if they're all approved individually, a mix is by default approved . .

Had somebody ask me in a comment on a video what I thought about it because they were on the fence.  Lol I didn't mince words: "it's a scam of the highest order."

thanks Aloarjr810

Actually no their not Luke, I asked the Rules dept. of the USBC about it a while back.

They said the cleaners are only approved in the original formulations they were tested in not mixed.


USBC Email reply:
Hello,

          Thank you for your question. The products listed on the approved cleaners list were approved in the formulas and concentrations that they are distributed in, not in combination with other products. It can be dangerous and harmful to mix chemicals, and is not something that is recommended.

Thank you,

I just started using Simple Green by itself and sometimes diluted with water instead of ordering Monster Tac from bowlingball.com. What's the supposed benefit to adding Windex and rubbing alcohol to the Simple Green versus using it alone?

Well some may think the USBC is being stupid or silly in what their saying about  mixing approved products.

Their not, just because products individually are safe and perform a certain way. Does not mean the same would hold true if those products were combined.

Bleach and ammonia are fairly safe to use individually, but mixed they are VERY dangerous.

So until those mixes are tested, they can't say they are legal to use.

During a deep dive with Google came across chemist who recommend not mixing Simple Green with anything but water (which according to the USBC because water is not approved means its illegal at all times including even in your own home and I guess disqualifies a ball for life, friggin asshats).  91% iso is a great degreaser on its own but mixed with SG it reduce the effectiveness of both.  Its better to use one after the other which is what I do.  I have a small spray bottle of 91% I use immediately after a session and then when get home hit them with a SG/water mix (found 1:5 SG water works well and doesn't leave much film).  Noticed also I very rarely get belt marks I notice any more as an added bonus.

Water not being on their approved chemical list is ass nine (guess legal after all but boy good thing their rules aren't confusing).  Full strength SG being legal but diluted with water (which it is made for and says right on label) being illegal is super ass nine.

While others may have a differing opinion, Basically by adding alcohol it drys/evaporates faster off the ball and also doesn't seem to leave a residue.

Straight Iso evaporates faster and doesn't require waiting around for it to work.  Either is fine though as long as gets the crap off your ball.  Straight Iso can't be called out by butt hurt opponents and actually acted on though.  Straight SG is legal but does tend to leave a film (if not diluted) and requires a minute to work which is why its better used at home.  $2 an oz ball cleaners are for suckers when can get a gallon of iso or SG for $10.  Really hated rationing cleaner.  Still have a quart of Monster Tac I use for really big belt marks and my epoxy ball.  Edge to cheap cleaner is can spray liberally with no worries.
