The most important factor in maximizing your enjoyment level when playing Table Shuffleboard is a proper wax job. A well waxed table will yield higher, more consistent scoring. That ultimately makes the game more fun to play. Table Shuffleboard Powder goes by many names. It is referred to as Shuffleboard Sand, Powder, Wax, Dust, Salt, Cheese, and probably a few terms that we haven't even heard!!
Among the most frequent questions we receive are "how much wax should I put on my Shuffleboard Table", and "what is the best technique to apply Table Shuffleboard Powder"? Regarding the second part of that question, if you had a hundred different people powder a table, you would see a hundred different techniques. John prefers overlapping circles, other people prefer to go side to side. The main thing is that you get a nice even coat, with no bare spots.
The most important thing is to get a good quality product that is designed for the length of your Shuffleboard Table, and is well suited for the type of Shuffleboard Weights (Pucks) that you are choosing. Please refer to the Speed Powder Selection chart in this link to find the best product for whatever length shuffleboard you have: [ Ссылка ]
When playing Table Shuffleboard, nothing is more frustrating than shooting a weight at what you know is the perfect speed to score 2 or 3 points, only to have it hit a bare spot and come up short!! One thing that will help to minimize bare spots is our Super Slick Silicone Spray: [ Ссылка ], which will help hold the shuffleboard powder in place, while also protecting the finish on your table and helping to prevent scratches from forming.
In this video, Shuffleboard Federation Founder, and Table Shuffleboard Hall of Fame Inductee, John McDermott demonstrates how to wipe and wax a Shuffleboard Table prior to beginning a game.
