Don't soak it. You will ruin it. Cool

wizz,dont take it to heart mate,thats what the darts forums are for,asking and giving info amongst other things.

i know mate i just wanted a general yes or no answer so i put it on other forums just to gauge everyones answer and that answer seems to be no
next thing is to buy a new board as i don't really like the eclipse pro!

ive got the eclips pro its ok but seems to be a harder board than my old one wich was the blade 3,i prefer the blade 3 but the eclipse pro does seem to last longer,also there are a few new ones out there wich maybe worth a try-the hi vis ones,but ive not heard any reviews about any of theese.

I've got the Blade 3 and it is a cracking board i would recomend it.

i think the exact same the eclipse pro is alot harder i may no the biggest fan at the moment...i've heard great things about the blade 3 alright a lot of people seem to use it but i've also been told to try the bulls advantage...anyone ever use this board?

I use the Bulls advantage and personally think it's the best board I have ever played on,

Had it for 4 weeks now and still not had a bounce out, really good quality and a delight to look at, the only issue I have with it is when I have friends round for an evening of darts one of my friends who has a really light throw finds that her darts drop out of the board frequently. She is the exception though and has an incredibly light throw due to badly breaking her arm a few years ago and has arthritis in her fingers. Everyone else who has played on it thinks it's amazing!

well firstly fair play to your friend for still playing even after all that with the broken arm etc
secondly yes i have heard a lot of people say that it is the best board they ever had and have said the exact same thing you have
the only problem for me is that it would cost me about 70 euro including delivery because i live in Ireland...is it worth that money do you think?
cheers for all yer help also appreciate it thanks

I'm probably not the best person to ask as I've only had mine for a few weeks, but in the time i've had it the quality appears to be superb, we've had no bounce outs and it looks great. If it lasts as long as i've heard from other people (in excess of 3 years heavy to moderate use i've been told! ) then i guess it would be well worth it.
