CROKINOLE BOARD MAINTENANCE

To maintain your crokinole board, use warm soapy water to clean it. Rub the board vigorously to clean it and then make sure to dry it with a dry towel. After you have done that, you can use the spray wax polish to speed up your board. It works on both new and old boards. Apply the polish the same way you would when waxing your car.

Paste Finishing Wax is used to finish our boards during manufacturing. Ultimately it comes down to - first, keeping the board clean, and second to how much effort is put into polishing the wax. Any wax will not be slippery if not polished to a hard finish.

HOW TO REMOVE PEN MARKS FROM A CROKINOLE BOARD

HOW TO REMOVE PENCIL CRAYON MARKS FROM A CROKINOLE BOARD

To remove pencil crayon marks from a Crokinole Board, apply dish soap to the affected area, let sit for 5 minutes, and wipe away vigourously.

PROTECT AGAINST DRYNESS

Crokinole Boards in dry climates will be crying out for water. During winter when heating systems run and when there’s not much water in the air, the relative humidity can go down to 13 percent or less! That same air will take water from Crokinole Boards - doing enough damage to cause cracks or splits in the wood! As long as the indoor humidity level stays around 35%, the moisture content in the Crokinole board will remain. During the winter that figure will drop.

• Keep the crokinole board out of direct sunlight
• Don’t put crokinole boards near fireplaces or heating vents
• Don’t over humidify either, otherwise the wood will expand and contract causing damage
• Store the board in an upright position by mounting it on the wall
