Hammer black widow bowling ball oil problem?

I have a black widow bowling ball, that I clean with both simple green and non acetone nail polish remover (recommended by my pro shop) and no matter how clean I get it, if you get it warm, more oil will rise from the shell. If I hold a hair dryer to it, the ball will look like it's under water. It seems to have an endless supply of oil rising out of the skin, when heat is applied. How in the world can I get all the oil out of this ball?!?! It's driving me nuts!

I think that the new aggressive coverstock used in the Black Widows are similar to the "soaker" coverstocks in the early 90's! I had the same problem with my Brunswick Danger Zone. Sounds like a job for a full recondition job by your local proshop! Should only cost about $25 at the most to rejuvenate the coverstock back to "Out of the box" condition.

Sounds to me like the pro shop sold you a lemon. Request a refund or a replacement.
