how many times have you bought a case of balls only to find out one of them is busted and got paint all over everything else....if your like me you dont want that paint that is splattered all over the balls going in your hopper or barell...

1. so get a cookie sheet line it with paper towels
2. dump some paint covered balls on the paper towels
3. put paper towels over the top of the paint and gently roll
the balls back and forth
4 enjoy non sticky paint covered balls

did you have multiple breaks in different bags. Usually paintballs are divided up into bags of 500 to reduce the risk of ruining a lot of paintballs.

Yea i use the towel trick whenever i get a break in a bag, saves me a few bucks, just sprad them out on the towel, pick out the broken shells and roll the towel over the paint to mop up the mess.

well, this is why i go to my pro shop to buy paintballs, the open the case up right in front of you to see if there is any broken paint, but if i ever buy online or something, ill remember this.
