Recently I fell in love with my rotor, but when using re-balls it jams on near enough ever ball.

I have heard a few people are having the friction problems on Geo's etc. Suggestions of baby oil and alike is just crazy in my eyes and last night I found how I can use them very nicely but please let me know if I am causing damage (to either ball or marker) by doing this.

I discovered if u burst 1 or two paint balls over the re-balls and rub it evenly so that there is not much paint on the balls, but a little layer of oil then the balls move through the hopper and breach as tho they were real paint balls.

Is this damaging at all, has this helped anyone and please flame me if I have echoed someone.

Thanks,

Jett

I don't guess it'd hurt them. I know some of the imitation reballs need to be "lubed" before use. I guess as long as their isn't a build of a residue they'd be fine.

Because the place I train there is paint all over the floor, so it would be stupid of the designers to let paint damage the surfaces. So are we agreeing aslong as I clean the reballs after ever use, and dont store them with paint on them thats fine.

Thanks, for your comment J@mes hope ur enjoying ur disruption.

If the reballs are rubber based then the oil would degrade them. However, i am unsure of the exact composition of the reball so cannot say for sure.
