Hello, Ted. I received my beginners board and am pleased with it. I have played a few games with my wife, and look forward to improving my skills. I am wondering if there is a problem with using wax on the melamine board. I can't find any information on what to use on that surface. I thank you for the quick shipping, and for including the correct size for the two extra sets of disks that I ordered. I hope you had a very Merry Christmas, and wish you well this new year.
Hello! Thank you for reaching out to me! I am glad you are enjoying the crokinole board. I am not aware of what would be used on a melamine surface to make it even faster. I know with MDF we use Mother's Spray Wax and with Plywood we use Mother's Liquid Pastewax. Melamine is a non-wood based formulation so I don't know what could be applied. It would have to be experimented with. I'm thinking people use beeswax to enhance the look but that could actually slow down the surface speed in my mind. It might be the fastest as is and not worth the risk!
Thanks for that reply. I have been looking all over trying to find whether using wax, or polish is harmful to melamine, but have been unsuccessful. I thought I had read something several days ago that recommended a product, but cannot find that article again. Evidently there are not enough people using the melamine boards at this time to chime in and talk about their experiences. Maybe some users will add to this topic in the future. Thanks again, and have a great year!
Just Ordered mine yesterday! Can't wait for it to ship!
Sweet! It's perfect for beginners to learn the game!
