#382131 - 02/08/10 01:59 PM Is it Lane Oil?
Bill Wray Jr. Member Registered: 03/13/06 Posts: 59 Loc: Albany, NY	Recently started working for a six lane house in an Elks Club. There is a half-full plastic bottle of what I think is lane oil but I am not sure. Feels like oil to the touch, but it is a colorless fluid. The label on the bottle is missing. There is a sticker on the top that refers to approved additives that comform with ABC spec TRS-3. Anyone know if TRS-3 refers to lane oil? How do I say it's lane oil for sure?

What happens if someone from the past put silicone in the bottle? When you go to coat your lanes the next time you will have fisheyes everywhere. Toss it and be safe. _________________________ 82/70 SS & MP Chassis Humpbacks Pro Anvilane Sure Piks Accu+ Phoenix S Infinity & Defense CX4

triac Silver Member Registered: 09/16/02 Posts: 2304 Loc: The Pits	Originally Posted By: KellyOby We are a small house, what is the most economical lane cleaner/conditioner and oil I can find. Welcome to Bowl Tech Kelly, Most high quality lane conditioners are pretty much priced the same. Unless you are strictly an open play recreational center, the type of oil you choose could hurt business. Cleaners can vary in price and it depends on if you have a machine that applies it or if you are going to hand strip.
