BOOMERANG CARE AND MAINTENANCE

Care and Storage: Large grassy fields are the best place to throw. When you're not using your boomerangs keep them in a carry case or hang them up. Never lay anything on top of them or leave them in direct sunlight.

Repair Tips: Nicks and dings can be repaired with either plastic wood or Cyanoacrylate (found at hobby shops). When using Cyanoacrylate, try mixing in a little baking soda for a filler. This mixture will be extremely hard and durable. Try a test before using this in your rang.

Breakage: If your boomerang breaks, use five-minute epoxy or Cyanoacrylate to put it back together. Remember to make sure the boomerang is flat when you glue it. Be sure to check for flatness after gluing.

Refinishing: Don't be afraid to refinish your favorite boomerang. Do be careful to not put too much paint weight on your rang. Too much weight and the rang will not fly properly.

SAFETY
Only throw if you have plenty of room. Throwers should always be aware of other people in their throwing area. People can appear out of nowhere and walk unknowingly into the flightpath of your boomerang. In addition, we recommend that throwers wear eye protection, particularly when catching a returning boomerang.
