Hi all,
A while back I bought some cue oil from Welsh Pool Trading and I've been putting of oiling my Craftsman Classic "Victor" cue just in case I somehow do it wrong. My understanding is that you just apply the oil to all the "wooden" parts of the cue (inc. the butt?) and then wipe of excess oil and buff to a finish...
I have a few questions though:
1) What should I use to apply the oil? (Tissue, Clean rag, Sponge)?
2) How long should I leave the oil on the cue for? (although I may have answered this myself - in that it doesn't matter as the cue will only absorb what it needs)
3) How should you leave the cue while you are waiting for the oil to be absorbed? I have a 3/4 length cue and can't really think of a way to perch it upright, but if it's just lying down (on a cloth, so as not to stain carpet), then surely the section touching the cloth will not soak in?
4) Is it then simply a matter of wiping away excess oil and buffing (with a clean cloth/tissue)?
Thanks for any advice on this. Ideally I was searching for a Step-By-Step (idiots guide) to oiling your cue, but any help will be appreciated!
Cheers,
