This little trick was taught to me twenty years or so ago by the owner of the Metro Atlanta Dart Association. It was my first night playing in a league and I'm forever grateful to Lewis for this tip.
If you've thrown on a board with a worn out bull, you know it can be frustrating watching dart after dart fall out because the material making up the bullseye has lost much of it's "grip" from overuse. Here's what ya do. Every two or three throws, stab the point of your darts into a slice of lime. You won't believe the difference this makes in the darts sticking. I have no idea why it works, but I'm pretty sure little green elves are involved.
Careful using this trick with hammerheads, especially if ya put much oomph into your throw to start with. You may find ya need a claw hammer just to pull your darts!
we use a potato, and yes it does make a notceable difference.
