Apply a heat gun if needed to make the bar slightly warm but it's not mandatory. Drag the bar down each panel. Let it set for 5 minutes before applying a brush and brush in the tack bar to each panel for 5-15 minutes. Test grip to see if its to your satisfactory. Some prefer 1-2 rounds of the same process.

Shake the bottle if needed. Apply a dime size to each panel and rub it in. Make sure the ball has been cleaned/dye removal before doing so the conditioner can absorb into the leather. Let it dry for 12 hours so it's not slick. After dry brush each panel 5-15 minutes each panel. The ball will by hydrated and ready to go.

After 12 hours, lightly brush the ball each panel and then use the polish balm. Apply a dab of balm to each panel and spread it across the leather. Let it sit 15 minutes before brushing it in. After brushing it in let it sit for 12 hours for it to cure. You may apply a heat gun to help apply the balm into the ball but not mandatory.

If it’s a new ball make sure to take the manufacturing dye off the ball by either using shaving cream or other methods to ensure best result.

BEGIN: Add some water in the jar if its too thick. Let it sit so the water moist the mud. It should be a loose slurry (milkshake). Each panel take a tab of mud and spread it around until the panel is filled. If you see some pebbles exposed put more mud in that area. Avoid the laces, stripes are ok you can wipe them off later. Once the ball is fully mudded (A trick of ours: use a spray bottle and spray the ball to make sure the mud/ball is moisten.) This ensures every spot is consistent. Use your hand if needed. Let it sit for 18-24 hours (minimal 18) this makes sure the ball is fully dried and the process is done before brushing the ball off. Use a brush and brush down each panel. (this gets the easy layer off the ball) Brush all the excess mud off or if you like to brush the mud in to create more grip you can do that but make sure it’s only the thin layer. Don’t cake the ball by brushing all of the mud in like most traditional ways. After brushing well, that it's ready to go unless you prefer to use a conditioner to hydrate the ball again.

With the 3.0 KIT Wax Bar you can apply the same process with the wax bar or use the wax bar before games. A great method is heat gunning the balm into the ball then letting it cure.

Note: Some people condition first then mud. We found the other way around to be a better method but feel free to try whichever method you like! The ultimate goal is for the ball to be prepped and hydrated. If you have any questions feel free to ask.
