Table Shuffleboard Powder and Wax Guide
Shop ZieglerWorld.com For All Your Table Shuffleboard Needs!
Shuffleboard powder lets the puck slide smoothly across the board. Shuffleboard powder is made from a combination of Dried Silicone Beads and Ground Corn (Corn Meal). Shuffleboard wax is a confusing term, as it is actually powder and not liquid wax (as in the maintenance kit).
In the old days, people used saw dust. The new products are silicone beads and ground corn meal.
When you want to increase the speed of your shuffleboard game, you try to decrease the amount of friction between the puck and the surface of the shuffleboard. To decrease friction, make sure you clean and polish the wood or laminate to remove grit, grime, sweat, and oil. After the board is clean, put a liquid wax on your table. See our maintenance care tips. After liquid wax has been applied, the next step is to find that special shuffleboard powder for your table.
Shuffleboard powder, or wax, comes in different ratings of speed. This is because an increase in speed sacrifices control. If you find the puck is flying so fast across your field it looks like a blur, try a slower wax.
