I've heard about this before....essentially similar process to what the liquid glove conditioner does to leather baseball/softball gloves when they get old and start drying out.

I am not in a position to address "legality" per se, but I would assume that if this is done well enough before the game, all you are doing is reconditioning a ball to return it closer to it's original condition and usefulness. No harm no foul, as long as it isn't crazy tacky/sticky.

If someone whips this out in the middle of a game and starts running this tack wax all over it after the game balls were approved or after the game has started....then I think you certainly may have an issue on your hands.

Just my 2 cents.
