Post by: I Flush 8s on April 22, 2008, 02:30:52 PM: i really want to kno because some people say its 1000 abralon and some say its 2000 abralon but nobody can agree when i first got it it didn't seem shiny but when i sand to 2000 it does and if i bring it down it looks pretty close but i want that same reaction i had with it out of box i dont want to play the guessing game

I think a 2000 abralon FACTORY finish is different than what we get with a personal spinner.... dependent on newness of the pad, pressure on the pad, and how long we turn 'em. I know that I tend to press harder on older pads, which WILL put a sheen on a ball instead of leaving it dull. If I use a new pad with light pressure, and don't spin it forever, the dull finish results look pretty close to how it came from the factory. This leads me to believe that maybe we ought to never use box-finish because it IS so hard to duplicate..... go ahead and take the new ball and spin it for a couple minutes with your favorite grit. That way you know that you will most likely be able to achieve the same finish over and over again.

Im so glad people are brainwashed to thinking that if they buy a new ball they will carry everything. And its even funnier when im carrying with my 15 year old ball and they're going flat ten.
