Finish

• As you use it, with repeated contact with the ground, this coating will get scratched, then start to wear off or disappear completely to leave you with the bare steel.

Care of your boules

• The Obut MATCH 1-grade striated carbon steel competition boule requires a little care and attention after each game and at least once a month if it is not used.
• We recommend using the Obut boule care product.

A tip from Obut : Don't leave your MATCH 1-grade striated boules in your car boot, as they may be exposed to sudden changes in temperature, leading to condensation.
Don't keep boules in pouches with a foam compartment. Foam stays permanently slightly damp and that will accentuate the oxidation of the boules.
Such significantly damp conditions will be harmful to your boules in the long run, as they can cause oxidation.
Remember to take your boules out of the boot of your car or their pouch if it has a foam compartment and store them in a dry place.
