Click to expand... I figured it was gone...so, i decided to goof around for a few minutes with it and see what could be done. The burning caused the ball to bubble under the scar and thus pitted...its pretty much beyond saving because the bubbles are too deep. otherwise it cleaned up pretty good for just about 4 or 5 min of work...I learned a little so that's worth something I guess. After pic...i could have done a better job here, but once i saw how bad it was pitted i didn't bother.
