Wiping off the old wax and applying a fresh coat makes the game more enjoyable because it ensures consistent speed, which will help you to generate higher scores on a more consistent basis. It also protects the surface of your Shuffleboard Table.
For those who are new to the sport, wax is also known as speed powder, Table Shuffleboard dust, Table Shuffleboard sand, and more. However, it is none of these things. Powdered wax, as we will be referring to it in this blog to differentiate from liquid wax, is actually made of fine silicone beads. This is sometimes combined with cornstarch to help the puck slide smoothly.
