QUICK START GUIDE: THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE YOU FLOW
1. Do not use glowsticks or WD-40 with tubing. While polycarbonate is very strong, it breaks down
in the presence of certain esters, including those produced by chemical glowsticks, mineral spirits and
WD-40. Do NOT put chemical glowsticks into the tubes, otherwise they can become brittle and
shatter. We recommend lubricating the ends of your tubes with a touch of petroleum jelly.
2. Be careful when using your flowtoys in the presence of sand or grit!
Sand and grit can get inside your caps and connectors and make them difficult to use. If you’re using
flowtoys in a sandy area, blow out/clean your caps and connectors of sand before attaching them to
the tubing. If your caps and tubes feel gritty, clean them and apply a bit of vaseline for lubrication.
3. Make sure all caps and connectors are fully secured before use! Check that the buttons in your
caps and connectors are fully clicked into the holes of the tubes.
4. Cleaning your flowtoys. If your flowcaps, connectors, crystal cases or flowmass get dirty after
hours of practice in the park, flowing in the forest or rockin’ it on a dancefloor, clean them with soap
and warm water, or put them in the wash with your laundry: air-dry, no heat!
