Tips for Apparatus Care
  • Use fabric softener to soften a ribbon that is too stiff
  • use a small amount of nail varnish to stop runs
  • store rolled up (seperate from the stick) rather than wrapped around the stick
  • tape the first 10cm of the stick with sports tape if it does not come with a grip
  • You can dye a ribbon in hot or cold water dye, fold the ribbon into sections and secure with pegs, make sure you read the instructions on the dye as most cold water dye's need a fixer (to prevent fading) which is purchased separatly
