Extracting oil from Motiv bowling balls
« on: March 03, 2015, 10:42:07 PM »
I have a NuBall rejuvenator and I love it. I've used it before with my Brunswick Wicked Siege and with my Paranormal Aura with great success. The balls are sweating oil after an hour at 125F. Sometimes I even have to leave them for an extra hour untiel they stop sweating oil. Completely different story with my Motiv equipment. I used it with my Jackal, NO OIL, used it with my Shock, nothing, used with my Sigma Sting and NADA, NONE, ZERO! Is it just me or someone else is having the same experience? Do I have to use a different temperature? More time maybe? Where is the oil? Lol  ;D

Beats me, I have yet to get oil out of mine either. There is a slight smell of oil sometimes, but never oil on the surface like I usually see with other stuff. It does seem to help restore the performance though.

I know, right??? It smells like the typical Motiv smell (which I love lol) and sometimes a slight oil smell too, but I can't see any oil on the surface! My guess is that after the first full surface of one of the balls I will see a lot of oil coming off the ball, but again, I'm just guessing... Have you tried doing that?

That doesn't seem to do it either. My primary Sting has probably 200 games. I've resurfaced it and cycled it through my ball oven a couple of times but never seen any visible oil. It does gain back the down lane pop after its done though.

And it's the same with my Tribal. A ton of games but has not shown oil yet.

Have you taken surface down before you put into revivor? I know when I do hot watter baths, I take to 500 then the oil pours out..

Damn... It puzzles me, where is the oil going? But at least is good yo know that it works and the ball gets back its original reaction. And is good to know that I am not the only one experiencing this!

No Vince, I haven't, but I think I'm gonna try that the next time I put them into the oven. That happened to my Paranormal. After a full resurface the ball was sweating oil for three cycles!

I'm seriously thinking about it. My coach also suggested me this:

http://www.bowlingindex.com/store/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=BI&Category_Code=P&Product_Code=PS-805SM

And I can plug it to an electric driller to make it a spinner. What do you think?

Yeah, is a little expensive... The same happened to me when I got the NuBall, but now I feel is worth it. How much you paid for your spinner? About 200, 300? The other thing that scares me is that I don't know how to use it  ;D

My Primal Rage and Tribal don't bleed oil when I heat them up either. They must have a very slow absorption rate.

I never experienced something like it with any other brand, but now I am sure I am not the only one lol
