I was just talking to my dad about getting a new gotcha darts board, he told me to soak it in water, and I said to him what the hell are you smoking!!:eek: Has anybody heard of this before, if so please tell me what hell he is on about. He said it will last longer and I could just not agree.

I understand your confusion and concern about soaking a Gotcha darts board in water. However, it's important to note that it is generally not recommended or necessary to soak a darts board in water. Doing so can potentially damage the board and affect its performance.

More dart board, especially those made of sisal fibers, are designed to be self-healing. This means that the holes created by the darts will close up over time, preserving the board's longevity. Regular dartboard maintenance involves rotating the board periodically to even out the wear and keeping it away from excessive moisture or direct sunlight.

While there are various methods to clean a dartboard, soaking it in water is not one of them. If the surface of your dartboard gets dirty, you can use a soft brush or cloth to gently remove any debris or dust.

It's always best to follow the manufacturer's instructions or consult reputable sources for proper care and maintenance of your specific dartboard model.
