Warp Feed and dry shell paint - jamming?

[Curnlklink]

Is anyone else having a problem with the new Marbalizer jamming up your warp feed? It jammed all day at a recent tourney. I experimented with different paint and I noticed that the dry shell seems to lodge against the wall of the warp feed. I tried ZAP, Powerball, Proball, and several Diablo paints and they all fed 3 hoppers just fine ..... Then I tried spraying some WD-40 down in there and the marbalizer worked for about 500 balls then jammed again. Any thoughts or ideas?

Let Tom know. He was asking aboutt his very thing a few weeks ago.

Then I tried spraying some WD-40 down in there

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I was always told NOT to use WD-40 on a PB Marker because it ate the urethane o-rings. Not only would the WD get on the balls, and spread the WD into the marker and on the o-rings, but aren't the wheels in a warp urethane as well?

I think Tom is working on a slution to this issue with dry balls. I'm not a fan of dry balls, they should be at least a little moist...

I didn't spay the WD-40 into the marker. I just sprayed a very minimal amount into the feed body of the warp feed just to see if my hypothesis that the dry shell wedging itself against the wall of the warp feed was correct. In fact I used such a small amount that you couldn't even see it on the paint. I certainly don't see using WD-40 as a permanent solution.

I've never experienced one problem through 10+cases there has to be something not adjusted right on your equipment .... i just don't get it

As my local feild only has diablo, I've only shot the advantage shell once at a tourney. I had read reports of it not being so great with warps and I was a little bit apprehensive. But I lubed the discs really well, and it worked fine for me.

[Curnlklink]

There's nothing wrong with the settings because all other paint works fine and if I put some lube on the plastic wall of the warp it works fine. I tried it tonight and it fed the paint perfectly with a small amount of gold cup applied to the wall.... for now that is what I will do.

I belive Tom said a while ago, you can break a ball, and rub a bit of paint on the wheels that will lubricate it.
