also, once a reactive ball has been polished (say 2000 grit unpolished OOB), does the polish clog up the pores in the coverstock and damage the reaction of the ball if it is taken back to a sanded finish?

do you do this just like you would the "hook again" pretty much surround the ball and let sit for 24 hours?

Let it sit longer. Like a week. 5 gallon pail and surround it with the kitty litter. The longer it sits, the more it will absorb. It can't harm the ball. I've also heard of people using speedy dry. That stuff is specifically made to absorb oil.

I'd suggest you get the smaller bottle, about $5-6 and you won't use that much. I do customers' balls as well as my wife's and mine after every set so I use more.
I use a plactic cup full in a trash bag.

Abzorbit I get from Lowes, don't remember what it cost but I think it was about $10.00 for a 1.2 cu ft bag ( looks about the size of a 10 lb bag of dirt).

I have cut up an old rag, stick them in the finger/thumb holes and turn the ball. What I like about it is I can do other things as the stuff works on the oil. Couple times it's been 6 hours befor I took the ball out, I got busy and didn't get back to it, never hurt any ball.
It's a fine , VERY fine powder so I'd suggest something over your mouth/nose so you don't breath it in. I'll reuse the bag and material for 3-4 balls, feel of it and maybe one or two more balls or toss it out. Trash bags usually last 3-4 balls then start to get a small hole from the ball cup.

As I have said, I do turn the ball every 20-30 min, and I keep the ball in the bag for 2-3 hours. Left one once 8 hours, I just forgot to get it out and got busy, didn't hurt the ball at all (it was my wife's GameBreaker)and as much as she's an Ebonite freak, if it'd had hurt the ball, she'd let me know !
