Default Want to build a shuffle board wax machine. Need advise or examples

Good day all, I have seen villagers who have made waxing machines for waxing shuffle board disks. I want to build one. If anyone has one that I can take measurements and photos from, I would greatly appreciate it. I looked on line and didn’t find anything.

Thank you in advance for your productive responses. Have a blessed day.

Never even thought of that found this. There is information on line for cleaning courts this is what I found for discs.

Have you checked with recreation department for availability or might they purchase. YouTube shows how to but no build references.

I do not think it is proper to alter public equipment. Waxing discs that belong to you will obviously apply wax to the field.

An alternative would be to make a jig for workbench table to hold discs secure.
Next an electric drill with buffing pad attachment, change pads as needed for cleaning and buffing applied wax.

Hot wax them with an iron. Always worked good on my skies, only thing I ever used an iron on.
