We all know it is a fact of life that Gorilla Gold will transfer to the ball. Anyone who has seen a ball being used with Gorilla Gold knows this as the ball begins to turn brown from it's application.

I agree, it should be called WHEN it is seen applied to the ball. If the UIC wants to then allow it's use, it is out of the umpire's hands.

Well I allowed it, the other team didnt protest (I did let them know) and so everyone was happy, so we went about the game.

This is very inconsistent because of lack of clear directive.
