To regain the lustre/shine to your paddle, remove any surface dust. Denibbing your paddle is very easy to do at home. Use ultra-fine 0000 wire wool (*only* as any other grade will scratch the wood) as the picture shows, moving the wire wool in line with the gain in the timber, until the paddles surface has a dull finish.
Step 1
Maintain the shine
Step 2
Clean Thoroughly
Thoroughly clean the surface of the paddle, paying attention to areas such as where the handle meets the paddle, any holes and around spikes with a lint free cloth. (We do give a lint free cloth in our care package when a paddle is purchased from us) this will remove all the fine dust that has been created.
Step 3
Use the good stuff
I personally use Danish Oil, my suggestion is to continue using this type of product, apply a very thin coat over the surface of your paddle using a clean fresh lint free cloth, taking care not to touch any wet areas.
Step 4
Hang to Dry
Hang your paddle (I use coat hanger hooks) in a ventilated area, away from any direct heat or sunlight and leave to dry. The drying process varies in time I have found, best to leave for approximately 48 hours before touching.
