legal ball cleaners
« on: August 29, 2009, 11:40:09 AM »
I've looked over the USBC website and can't find an answer to this question. Is it legal to mix approved ball cleaners? I doubt the USBC tests mixes. Anybody know?

Yes, I mean mixing two legal cleaners. I can't find anything that says you can or cannot. I don't want to assume that just because they are legal by themselves that they are legal mixed together. What if a particular mix would react to form a cleaner that softens the ball? Then it would be illegal. Just wondering if the USBC has covered this at all. I can't find anything about it.

You are makinglife far too complicated. If they're both legal, the mixture will be legal. I and a friend have both mixed different sets of cleaners with good and sometimes indifferent results. I stick with straight cleaners from the bottle these days.

Your only true worry is not whether or not the result is legal but whether there are ingredients in the two cleaners which will react in a bad way, like form a gas or some other dangerous mixture. For that, you'd have to write both manufacturers and ask them what their ingredients are. Of course, they won't tell you ......
