Abstract
Shuffleboard pucks are made of wood or plastic, and to gain maximum control over the puck it is common practice to wax the underside of the pucks, thereby insuring uniformity in the travel of the pucks over the court. This waxing of the puck is done by hand, holding the wax in contact with the puck. I have found a better way to do it by using an electric motor to rotate the puck in contact with a block of wax that is hand held. The outer edge of the puck has a tendency to receive more wax than does the inner edge because the outer edge of the puck travels a greater distance in contact with the hand held wax than does the inner areas. To overcome this I have devised an arrangement whereby the wax block is triangularly shaped to deposit a uniform coating of wax dependent on the distance from the center to deposit a uniform coating of wax over the entire area.
