RS-P layout and cover prep questions
« on: November 02, 2005, 12:07:31 AM »
Just received my used RS-P yesterday and could use a bit of advice on the layout and coverstock prep.
 My PAP is 4 3/4 and 1/2 up (the rest of my stats are in my profile, as well as the other balls in my lineup). The existing layout is pin directly to the side of the ring finger and the 2 1/2" - 3" directly below. Coverstock appears to be close to OOB.
 I currently have an Animal as my med-heavy oiler and I have an AP2 on the way for heavy-flooded patterns ... the RS-P is my first particle pearl and I would like it to fit in behind these two somehow. I also have a SS particle that has a very even, smooth arc to it and isn't too jumpy because of the lower Diff.
 I'd like to just change the span to fit me, since it's too wide now, keep the pin location as is, and adjust the coverstock to the appropriate grit level.
 Does this sound OK ??? Or should I fully and redrill for a different reaction and if so, what grit finish and polish combo should I have done ???
 Any feedback/input from JeffRevs and other RotoHeads is appreaciated; TIA.

Morning bump ...
 I would like to get specifics on which scotchbrite(s) to use to get the surface to what grit level, and which polish(es) to use for coverstock adjustments. TIA ...

Marooon/burgundy = 320-400 grit
green = 600 grit
light grey = 800 grit
blue = 1000 grit
Abralon pads (sandpaper) can finish 1000, 2000, 4000 grit.

I like Brunswick's High Gloss polish because it allows you to keep the finished sanding grit as the ball's base finish under the polish added for length adjustments. Most other polishes change the base finish to some unknown number depending on how much and how long you apply it. Too many random factors.

Laybzz.....

I hate to be the bearer of bad news...but I think you're trying to fit something in where you might see too much overlap.  There is nothing wrong with overlap mind you, however....too much isnt' good either, ..if that makes sense.

HOWEVER....in the spirit of your post...I'll try to lend a hand !

Drill the AP2 to handle the heavy stuff....Burgandy s/b or 500 abralon...pin below ring ...kick the cg to the right...early roll, etc, etc, etc.....

keep the RSP in box.....800 smooth......keep your idea...

then....polish the Animal....fine grit........1200 polish...or go super smooth with a 1500 smooth or 2000 smooth.

Heavy AP2
Medium heavy RSP
Medium.....Animal
