Snooker people,
I was getting my tip replaced when the sales rep mentioned my cue seemed dry. I asked what oil he would recommended and he suggested plain old linseed oil -- from the supermarket. It's the first time this guy has not tried to leverage the conversation toward selling me something he stocks. So I have bought some linseed oil. That's when I checked this forum and saw the raw vs boiled debate.
Now I am asking: has anyone used raw linseed on their cue, did it work, and if yes, I would love to know the process you followed. Like, what did you use to apply the oil? How long did you leave the cue to absorb the oil, do you have to leave the cue in a certain way? etc.
I'm quite new to playing snooker seriously and it's my first time doing anything cue maintenance-wise. Grateful for any tips and advice.
Thanks
