Removing BM Ball Stains and Cherries from a bat??
« on: February 23, 2011, 11:10:57 PM »

Hi all,
As the title suggests, really. I would like to know the best ways of achieving this. I had a cherry on my Salix from Tuesday that wasn't removed by a watery rag, so will have to try something else, any ideas.
For BM Balls, I read in TWC from the Don that Nail-Polish Remover is a good way of getting rid of the nasty stains? Is this true, is it just use a rang and NPR and then they will come off after a bit of elbow grease?
Thoughts welcomed and help appreciated. I do have scuff sheets on all my bats, the clear ones for some reason!

Nail Varnish or Nail Polish - are they the same thing? I really don't know, I should. How do you do it then Joe, just apply a bit and rub it in, or apply and leave etc? Thanks :)
Dave, does that work for you? Might try it. Specifically Lynx, or any deo? Lynx is in School ATM :( - can get it tomorrow though :)

Head to a hardwear shop and buy a tub of acetone, it's whats in nail varnish remover that makes it good at cleaning things off.

It'll be way cheaper than buying it as NVR

Rough idea of the cost of that Kulli? :) - just need to check everything, atm Lynx sounds like the best idea, as I have some available, but the Acetone could be worth a punt :)

Depends what qualtities you want it in, I've always just 'borrowed some from any labs I've worked in, but I imagine small tubs of it would cost absolute buttons, a couple of quid tops.
