This is a Pro shop resurfacing?? (video)
« on: January 01, 2017, 10:45:37 PM »
Okay, My chin dropped. He say's this is a Pro shop resurfacing


Watch as he removes two gouges with a bevel knife (Im hoping he filled them with something before he did that. I looked close no he didn't) , only does 2 sides of the ball because doing 4 sides takes too much time, he then does one side at a time and he uses every grit from P100 grit up to 1500 then polish and then flips it over and does the other side!

I've seen PSO's do divots with a bevel knife.

I guess everyone has their own way of doing things.

Shop guy said More videos to come, but in the last 7 months, none was produced. I wonder why?

I kept looking at his sink... the layers of experience....

Can you say flat spot? 

I've never needed 100 grit either.  Four (or six) sides is what the customer is paying for so take the extra few minutes and do it better.

With so many newer products that you can patch "divots" and work on them within an hour or so, it's crazy to not fill them first.

 This is frightening on so many levels. Some poor person is going to watch this video and actually copy this guy.

With guys like this out there, maybe we need licensing where you have to pass a competent test before you can have a pro shop dealing/selling to the public. lol
Seriously, if this guy repairs and resurfaces balls like was demonstrated just imagine how he would drill a bowling ball........no thanks!

He'll demonstrate how to drill the ball using only a hand drill, just like he learned on Youtube (that's a real video too...)

I agree with the consensus.  Knowing the answer already....and me being me......I'd love to hear the PSO in the vid attempt at defending that method to this board.

The ball might look good, but it's got to be out of round. 

You can repair deep gouges easily using your regular plug.  Clean the gouge, use the smallest dam that completely covers the gouge, mix a small amount of clear plug and pour it.  When it cures, work it out just as you do with finger and thumb plugs and you'll have to look hard to tell where the gouge was.  This is also a great way to use the small dams that are left after you have used the large ones.  --  JohnP

For the gouges/divots he showed you wouldn't even have to do that. You could clear patch it with a few drops of Master Kwik patch (or superglue) in less than minute.

Say one thing there must be about a whole balls worth of sludge in that tub.
