Cue maintenance - finishing..

[Inoffthered]

Is p5000 a good choice to use for a cue's finish? ( I already use wire wool 0000 ).

Thank you in advance.

Cue maintenance - finishing..

the finest I have is 3000 paper which is good enough for minor repairs but always you need to refinish (oil etc.).
be interested in others views
also I have a thin strip of 3000 in my case for those little tuffs you can get on the tip, great to remove the tuff without reshaping the leather.

400 to finish my cue and then never use sand paper on it again, oil, burnish with cardboard

Betterware Antique Furniture Polish, wipe on with paper towel, wipe off the excess with a cotton cloth, leave overnight and buff with a polishing mop on a bench grinder.
Cue is thirty years old now and still dead straight with a natural antique patina in the grain.

i use 1500/2000 grit paper in between coats of oil then buff it with a micro fibre cloth ( £1 for pack of 10 in home bargains ). Keep it going until you can feel the heat of the friction on your hand and it brings out a lovely finish. Smooth as a babies bottom, no blemishes. May be different for ash though as mine is a maple.

The Balsam one would be the product available now, my tin is twenty years old and I've only used half of it as it's only for my cue that I polish once a year.
