Spots on Balls

rexus31 · Mar 26, 2012

I'm using Tiger's Balls Cleaner and Polisher on my Aramiths and Centennials in my home built ball polisher. I'm getting small spots on the balls. Has anyone else had this issue?

Did you make a separator for the bucket? Balls are banging into each other.

I did not. What's the best way to make a separator?

I didn't come up with this, but you can search the AZ forum for pictures. I took three strips of carpet and expoxied the ends together to form a triangle with carpet side facing out. Then wedge that in the bucket, but leave room for the buffer to rotate freely.

If you don't have extra carpet lying around, go home depot and look for the strips of carpet for stairs. They're pre-cut and have a stiff backing that is perfect for this. You can add more strips to create more partitions.

Thanks. I made my own egg crate design with some cardboard and micro fiber towels. Works great, no more spots!

The egg crate is cool.
My version is easily washed. An old terrycloth towel ripped to four pieces and sewn in the middle forms eight legs.

By making the separator do you think it will make the spots disappear or less noticeable?

Wow! That was fast, and I like your design. It looks like it can hold 8-12 balls.
