How do you apply your concoction? I was thinking on taking super Fine steel wool to the but then spraying it with some high gloss urethane . Right now that looks like what his plan was but he forgot the urethane.....LOL I have tried a high end furniture wax then a very high end car wax and then last night I tried linseed oil but nothing. I like the high gloss because it gives it a nice grip where dull slides around and I tend to gip it tighter. Might solve the 29 mm butt with the proper shine.

You could try messaging andy travis he uses something similar to mastercue its a very thin coat of a wax like substance which as a very
high gloss finish he might be able to help you.

Snakes alive !!

Just received two Riley EJR signature Snakewood cues ( thanks Pete, Mick ).

One is Snooker spec, the other pool spec. Ideal when I arrive at the club, and haven't made
my mind up what to play . .

They look familiar! A little prettier than when they were covered in plaster for sure.

I have some, but to be honest i don't like the finish it produces if you go by their instructions. Too glossy and sticky imo.

If you buff it while it is isn't quite dried it produces a satin finish which isn't bad

I use tru oil and if you sand the butt smooth then apply the tru oil with a rag then leave to dry! Rub down lightly just to take the gloss off with 0000 wire wool, repeat another 3 times! After the final coat is dry knock the shine off with the wire wool and finally buff with a micro fibre towel and it will look as good as any cue maker could achieve.

Friction Polish of any brand, a soft cloth and elbow grease. I use Rustins and it works a charm but be willing to rub as it has been designed to finish wood to a deep shine on a lathe.

Yes I have used the raw linseed oil too but I always found it greasy even after I polished it. I bought some Morhers Pure Brazilian Carnauba Wax which in simple terms is a very high end car wax. I am talking just for the butt. I will let you know how I make out.

you could always buy the butt wax that JP sells

I think the butt looks just fine Les, nice cue

[lesedwards]

I use good old raw linseed oil and it buffs up quite nicely.
Someone once mentioned some gun-stock stuff which is longer lasting than linseed oil, but I can't find it on ebay at the mo.
