A gorgeous bowling center we just screened and coated. The place looks pretty good for being on year 8 of the sanding job we did. This center screen and coats every year to keep his surface fresh for their leagues.

It was nice outside the last few days so we worked outside getting the new facer prepped and 3 coats of finish on them for install. Then it was ready for the install.

A bowling center in Scotland I was at. Interesting to see their do not cross foul line says "lanes are greasy". Not sure if that is terminology here in Scotland or worded that way to get around Brunswick patent. Neat center. Very similar to our North American centers. Just a few minor differences.

I have been asked by a few bowling centers over last month how to fix holes and or why do my kickback plates keep breaking. If you have a huge hole that goes into the middle of the kickback you must router in wood or metal or replace the kickback (non shown here). Others more common is you must fill in the hole (not with spray foam! Something solid like JB weld wood or equivalent). No matter how uncomfortable it is, you need to belt sand in the pin deck holding up the belt sander. Once everything is sanded FLAT no dips. Then install the new kickback plate.

7 AM morning repair before the center opens. Sometimes motors accidentally get dropped by the mechanic on synthetic panels and break them in the back. Fortunately it was more of a left hand side issue.

I get asked often from bowling centers that call and says "We bought panels and they don't fit. They are too big. What can we do to fit them." Panels are generally longer because of how they were squared and fitted from installation. Rarely is a lane actually square unless it's a new modern install. To fit a panel correctly, you really need the router jig attachment. Also needs to be preset to correct manufacturer specs for the gaps between the panels. Many panels do not get gapped correctly and this causes future issues with panels expanding over time with temperature then will crack.

Between the holidays we finished up South Carolina University. A wonderful campus with very professional and nice staff! Sanded lanes and approaches. Had to custom build 2 new traps under the ball lifts. They got missed placed over the years. The center was closed for 7 years. SCU doing a full remodel with machine, scoring, ECT. I will miss it being 70 degrees outside in January there!

Nothing like being December 29th in South Carolina and unloading a truck in 70 degree weather! Getting ready to sand 6 lanes to bare wood, re level lanes, then apply 3 coats of finish to the lanes.
