Hi, what was the base/original protective sealer on 80's Snooker Maple Cues. Was it Oil or Wax. Or laquer sanding sealer? Or any other material? Who knows? Is it the same as on Billard cues? regards

Hi,
Are you trying to refinish an old case as I wouldn't think it was an oil finish.
Takes to long for a case...
Would think a lawyer, myself....
Where are you as I might be able to give you a better idea of I could see it in person..

You might want to re write all that as it makes no sense, talking about cases and lawyers? ??

Late, dyslexic and spell check..... Not a good combo to answering a question lol...
What make is the cue for a start, that might help in trying to work out what finish is on it..

Post a pic of the cue, might help....

I talk about sealing the core of the wood and not finishing. The finish part comes after sealing.

Sorry but you have lost me.... Not sure what advice your looking for...
You can use oil (I use Danish oil), to seal and finish a cue.
Plus it's easy to use...

You two never heard of cue sealers? You can buy them on many billard online stores. I sanded my maple shaft down to bare wood. So now I need the right sealer!

[Ninja.cues]

No I've never heard of them....

You do know that they will be a shellac sealer or something along them lines....
Just rename, do they can change you more for it...
If you know so much, why are you asking for advice?

I have a lot of years of using different finishes.... From French polish to lacquers and some in between but not all..
So trying to help..

I want to know whats the original sealer is. Whats the components. Again: Sealing is not finishing!

I do'nt know about sealing .
I thouht some cue makers using polymerized linseed oil for maple . I may be wrong though !!

[Reini0100]

whats that? I only heard of raw linseed oil. This oil is guilty for my brown discoloration on my maple cue!

As far as i know, It's about the same . except , this one dries much faster and it does'nt change the color of maple.
