And I also used to use greasy, clear shoe polish
I don't need such tactics!!!!

lol, nah, I'll try that for sure. Usually in the two day games if we don't have a real umpire, I'll take the ball home and get some dubbin into it. Might try the superglue trick as well. I take it, it's easily noticable though?
