I am tired of cleaning black marks off the balls caused by the black dye from the pockets on my Diamond Pro. I have tried treating the pockets in several ways that have been discussed on the AZ forums - with very limited success. I am considering changing the pockets from black to brown when I...

The Mechanic's Directory does not list anyone that is local in the Dallas, Tx area. I need some table work done. Any suggestions for guys who do good work in this area?

The last discussion on this continuing problem was started by Jay Helfert last February. There were several suggestions including using Thompson's Water Seal. Can someone give us an update on how that is working or anything else that has not already been discussed. I have not yet tried the...
