- The Obut TON'R strie 0 pétanque boule has a black coating when it is supplied to the consumer.
- Over the course of use, due to friction on the floor, this coating scratches, fades or disappears completely, revealing the raw steel.
Maintenance
- The TON'R is made of carbon steel and requires maintenance after each game and at least once a month if not in use.
- We recommend the Obut maintenance product.
A little Obut advice
Do not leave your boules sets in the boot of your car, as they are exposed to sudden changes in temperature, which can lead to condensation.
Do not store your boules sets in bags with a foam compartment. The permanent humidity of the foam increases the oxidation of the boules.
These high humidity conditions will, in the long run, be detrimental to your boules by encouraging their oxidation.
Remember to take your balls out of the boot of your car or a bag with a foam compartment to store them in a dry place.
