What type of particle in an Eraser PBT?
« on: January 15, 2010, 12:32:12 AM »
I'm trying to restore an Eraser PBT particle pearl and am wondering what kind of particle Storm used in the ball and how fragile it is. I use abralon pads, but need to take the ball down quite a bit to get rid of surface scratches and I don't want to rip all the particles out of the ball. Thanks

did Storm ever use a "fragile" particle?

I'd just call Storm .....way easier

I didn't think the Eraser had particle, but I believe Storm was using some kind of rubber for particle at that time.

The post title and the content are a bit confusing but he is talking about the Eraser Pearl Particle.


I'm not sure exactly what particle Storm used for that ball but if I were you I wouldn't worry about it.  The particles are embedded within the entire coverstock layer, so even as you alter the surface new particles will be underneath.

Back when that ball was produced the steps to resurface a particle ball wereas follows. sand ball with sandpaper to remove track , gouges etc finishing with 220 grit. then burgundy scotch brite followed by a green scotch brite. If the ball was polished you would use Storm Step 2 from here.  The use of scotch brite pads allowed you to sand the ball to a smoother finish yet due to the flexability of the scotch brite it would not sand the particles. Thus allowing the particles to be avove the surface for traction in oil

Thanks for the quick responses. If the scotchbrite didn't rip the particles out I sure the abralon pads wont either. Sorry about the confusion with the name of the ball. It says PBT on the ball, which, after some quick checking, describes the core. Almost the same core as used in the Thunder and T-Road lines. The ball should work decent on lighter/carry down conditions with a 2000 over a 500 surface.
