Sorry to interrupt the discussion. Dave, I've bought a new Will Hunt green plate from a Hong Kong dealer. The original finishing is great and smooth. After I applied some cue oil, should be too much and left too long before buffing, it appearred tacky. Just want to know could I use a fine sand paper, like 2000, to sand it off gently and would it harm to the original finish ?

Just play with it a bit should be fine. No need to sand it away because the oil would have soaked into the cue rather than still be on the surface. Just keep buffing, play with it a bit and it will soon be fine.Last edited by jono*; 9 July 2012, 11:03 AM.

A dry cloth should do just fine, with a slightly damp one after several months of use, just to clean off any ingrained dirt / dust which has accumulated on the shaft from your skin and the table bed.
For the issue you describe above, then yes, 2000 grit (or even 1000 grit) would be fine to remove the residue.Last edited by trevs1; 9 July 2012, 11:40 AM.

By adding more oil, you are more likely to spoil a good finish rather than enhance it. Far too many people seem to think that they NEED to be oiling their cues, when they need to do no such thing at all. A well finished quality cue should require nothing done to it in order to maintain its smooth feeling.

, wholly hand made, partially hand made, semi hand made, finished by, partially turned etc, punters wouldn't be happy seeing these descriptions on a cue badge, but HAND MADE( in the mind of the buyer)(idealologist ) conjures up the cue makers intent, an individual cue made to your personal preferences by hand by me,i have no beefs about using lathes or milling machines etc, however a cue is made i have no problem with ,it is the implications.

hi flame where you been mate busy i guess,i think people want the best they can afford,the problem arises when it isnt quiet as gd as thought it would be,personly i think if ime buying from what i would at the moment say are the best cue makers i would exspect what i am paying for,ime not going to name them because most people know who they are and what there talking about,then you could start grading cues ie ultimates etc to your bog standard stuff from general sports shops, i think until you have tried making a cue most off us dont have a clue what goes into it ,theres a few of us that have and are having ago some as me its an hobby some may want to take it further they will have to prove over the years that they warrent the price there asking or getting but we could all turn out a plain ash or maple cue that would prob do the job,we just want something different and that is what we are paying for,a name a standard, different class,the ultimate if you have the money do what you gotta do ,sorry for the long story had a gd drink lol,jim
