Always shake shuffleboard wax before applying.
Before and frequently after use, apply furniture polish to the shuffleboard playfield to ensure long life and competitive level of play.
Apply an adequate amount of shuffleboard wax over the entire length of the playfield so pucks "float" consistently.
Use spray furniture polish to clean all exterior surfaces.
The product is intended for INDOOR use only.
DO NOT sit, climb, or lean on the table.
