CtD Surfacing Mitt
Bowlers love using TruCut sanding pads, but dislike getting their hands dirty. The best way to sand any bowling ball is using TruCut Sanding Pads with TruCut Conditioner. TruCut Conditioner doubles the life of the sanding pad, improves the consistency of the cut, and reduces the amount of dirt and debris left on the ball.This is great, but you can still get your hands dirty when sa sanding your ball by hand or using a spinner. So we created an easy to use CtD Surfacing Mitt. This product has cross shaped Velcro on one side to hold any TruCut sanding pad or TruCut Premium Polishing pad and features a leather like vinyl material on the other side. It is easy to clean by just wiping it with TruCut Conditioner and a dry cloth after use. It is one size fits all and can be folded in half for storage.This protective mitt will keep your hand dry and that makes it easy to get right to bowling after altering the surface of a bowling ball. Remember you can only do this before or after competition.
TruCut Conditioner - 8oz (236ml)
TruCut Conditioner works in five ways: It is made to extend the life of the sanding pad. The conditioner provides a balanced level of lubricity that allows the pad to keep cutting, while dramatically reducing the friction created during the sanding process. Using this product will increase the life of the pad by up to 4 times compared to using the pad dry. This product allows for a cleaner cut. Which means it will leave a more consistent finish. It traps the dust and allows it to pass through the TruCut Sanding Pad. This allows the pad to cut faster and longer. It rejuvenates at the same time. You can literally feel a difference after using this product. When used as directed, this product is made to reduce the amount of dust created which speeds up the sanding process and lowers the mess involved with sanding your ball. Best of all this product is safe to use with any type of bowling ball coverstock. TruCut Conditioner is NOT a bowling ball cleaner. That Purple Stuff or That Wow Factor Ball Cleaner are bowling ball cleaners. TruCut Conditioner is made to be used on your TruCut Sanding Pad. It's red in color and has a clean strawberry scent. This product is safe to use on all bowling balls. It can be used by hand, ball spinner, resurfacing machine, or PYB system. Directions for use Place the ball in a ball cup with the bowling grip face up.Select the desired TruCut sanding pad grit you want to use.Place the sanding pad in the middle of a CtD Power Pad.Generously spray around 20- 25 times covering the entire sanding pad with TruCut Conditioner.Sand the ball with moderate pressure by hand in circular motions on ½ of the ball working from the side to the top of the ball.Flip the ball over and repeat steps 4 and 5.If needed proceed to the next TruCut Sanding Pad grit and repeat the process until all the sanding steps are complete.Remove the sanding pad from the CtD Power Pad and wipe any excess dust off of the ball with the Power Pad and you are ready to go. .Once finished allow the sanding pad and CtD Power pad to completely air dry. For ball spinner use just spray TruCut Conditioner directly on the desired sanding grit pad, and while the spinner is on go up and down on the sides and top of the ball. Add additional sprays to the sanding pad to keep it wet. For Resurfacing Machines use in place of water. This product can be reused.

TruCut Gloss Powered by Turtle Wax
From now on always with a 5" TruCut Sanding Pad 500 Grit!We have partnered with Turtle Wax for another product for the bowling industry! Introducing TruCut Gloss Powered by Turtle Wax! Have a reactive bowling ball that you want to give that urethane ball reaction without spending the money on a urethane bowling?Have a reactive bowling ball that simply is hooking too much?Looking for a way to battle wet/dry lane conditions?Have a slower ball speed and/or a higher rev rate?--> Try TruCut Gloss Powered by Turtle Wax!This product is a semi permanent gloss product that has the ability to stop or slow oil absorption in any reactive bowling ball. This product can change ball reaction drastically even making your ball perform just like urethane. The performance is designed to last 6 to 9 games depending on the environment. The performance can be completely removed by using TruCut Sanding Pads. This product is an easy to use liquid product that provides a durable polymer layer on the surface of the bowling ball.There is a unique combination of various technologies combined that provide a durable pore penetrating coating on the bowling ball. This technology has four unique attributes on a bowling ball.It makes the bowling ball oleophobic (oil repelling)Stops or slows oil absorption in all reactive bowling ballsProvides superior resistance to dirt and scuff marksFeels slick to the touch (two hands are required to pick the bowling ball up)Performance of TruCut GlossTruCut Gloss Powered by Turtle Wax provides increased skid through both the front and middle portions of the lane and significantly decreases backend performance when added to ANY bowling ball coverstock. This is why we recommend sanding the ball using TruCut Sanding Pads like 500 grit FIRST before applying TruCut Gloss. Using a higher surface can make a reactive bowling ball go much straighter. On a reactive ball, you will see about 5-10 boards less hook, depending on the type of bowling ball used and how you throw the bowling ball.How to UseIn order to create a urethane performance from any reactive bowling ball follow these steps. Before using TruCut Gloss your bowling ball should be cleaned with Life After Death Bowling Ball Cleaner Plus Life Extender, using a TruCut Scuff Mark Remover if needed.Using the CtD Ball Spinner:Sand the reactive bowling ball to 500 grit on 4 sides using TruCut Sanding Pads. Watch the video in the galerie on how to sand your bowling ball on a ball spinner. Note: Using non TruCut sanding pads may result in a non desired result and inconsistent performance. This is highly not recommended.Shake the bottle well before using the TruCut Gloss.Apply a half dollar size amount to the Microfiber side of a CtD BAM Pad or CtD Power Pad.Using a ball spinner on 4 sides of the bowling ball using an up and down motion for 20 seconds per side. Each time you change sides apply an additional half dollar size amount of TruCut Gloss. This ensures that multiple layers of protection are applied.You will notice the ball will begin to feel slick to the touch. This is an indication that the product has been applied. You MUST HOWEVER USE 2 HANDS to remove the ball from the spinner.Wipe the ball dry with a clean CtD Power Pad or BAM Pad.IMPORTANT: Do not use any other bowling ball cleaner on your ball to wipe the ball off other than CtD Life After Death. Using other products can reduce the effectiveness of the TruCut Gloss.For maximum durability allow the ball to sit 30 mins before use.Can you use this product by hand?Yes, you can add a 500 Grit TruCut surface to the bowling ball then you can apply TruCut Gloss using a CtD BAM Pad or CtD Power Pad by hand and let sit for 1 hour before use. It is recommended to use a spinner to ensure even coverage and to get the longest-lasting results.THIS PRODUCT IS NOT A PERMANENT FIX FOR YOUR BOWLING BALL
