Welcome. Getting to be a bit of a cuemakers bar this with Trevor White (Trevs1) Andrew Ramsay (ADR147) and you too now
I for one would apprecieate your comments on Tung oil in the cues section if you would please.
Thanks for the welcome,
About Tung oil, we have tried it in the past but takes a long time to dry between coats. Doesnt leave a very shiney finish though, i would say it's OK, but would not be my prefered choice. There are better oils available on the market. One is Liberon finishing oil,avaialble form a good hardware store. This will dry in a day where as tung oil can take 2 or 3 days to soak in properly. Applications of different oils can vary quite a lot, depending how much oil your are applying and how long you let it dry in between coates. Also a must, to matt the cue down finely between coates with fine wire wool grade #0000 or finer.
Its really about experimenting with quantity used and drying times........
Hope this helps
