Instructions

    • 1

      Wipe off your hockey stick immediately after playing to remove any moisture that may have built up on the stick; then allow it to air dry naturally.

    • 2

      Use quick drying epoxy cement to fill in any deep scratches that your hockey stick might have gotten during play.

    • 3

      Protect the lower four inches of your hockey stick shaft from hacking by the other players, by applying cloth tape to that area.

    • 4

      Buy a tube or bottle of automotive touch up paint that matches your hockey stick. Use the paint to touch up any scratches on your stick to keep it looking new.
