1: Shuffleboard Table room location
The
shuffleboard table generally should be kept away from windows
because of the inconsistencies associated with the daily
change in temperature and sun exposure. The sun will dry the
silicone spray that you apply to the playfield to keep the
powdered wax on for consistent speed. And it will flatten or
even crown a board during the day, and then the board will
play differently at night. That can be very frustrating if you
are trying to learn shots on a board.
If you can avoid locating your board near windows or
where it will get direct sunlight you will have a better
playing experience 2: Climatic Adjusters - An adjuster is not recommended to correct a wary surface if your surface is not flat it will need to be (professionally resurfaced in the usual manor)
- You can not buy one of the non professional games made with a top that is poorly machined or made with an inferior
improper material and expect the adjusters alone will give you professional play
- These adjusters will also not work on tops having open glue lines between the seams, or Tops not made of the proper thickness.
(a minimum of 1.5 inch are recommended)
Check the shuffleboard tabletop every few weeks and adjust as
necessary. Usually
boards are set up with a slight concave in them but some
people prefer a perfectly flat board. (See the picture below
with a straight edge across the surface)
It is recommended that you can slide a piece of
standard paper under the center of the straight edge as shown
below. However on the outside edges the paper would not pass
under the straight edge. This is a general rule when first
setting up a board. Next slide some pucks down the table and
see how they drift or how much they drift in towards the
middle of the board.
Then adjust to your personal preference. 
3: Wax or prepare surface for play Before waxing a board for the first time, it should be cleaned with a shuffleboard Cleaner or Polish. We recommend the brand Triple Crown Cleaner Polish This product is designed to remove foreign matter from the surface of the board.
1. Apply Triple Crown Cleaner Polish or other brand if you choose with a towel. Before the surface dries, buff lightly using a dry towel. This should be repeated 2 to 3 time a month depending on how often the board is used.
2. Triple Crown Liquid Wax should also be applied with a towel. Application for the wax is identical to application of the polish. Repeat instructions above, buffing lightly with a dry towel until the surface is as smooth as ice. Once again, depending on the use of the board, 2 to 3 times per month is usually recommended.
3. For ULTIMATE SPEED you may now apply Triple Crown Silicone Spray.
Apply and let is set for 15 minutes before buffing lightly.
DO NOT try to improve on these instructions by allowing drying or by using a buffer!
DO NOT use furniture polish or silicone spray that is not specifically for shuffleboards.
For best results follow the above instructions. You are now ready to apply Triple Crown Speed Powder or another brand of powder. Information above provided by Triple Crown products we recommend their products
for speed powder, cleaner and other board accessory products. You can visit their web site under other links or to visit Triple Crown go here. (Note browser will open new window) |
