[MasterBreak147]

Don't want to sound wrong here but i can't bare my cue been smooth, i once cleaned it up and frig me i couldn't use my cue lol
Since then i refuse to use anything on my cue and its quite sticky compared to others i have picked up, i do wipe it when the weather is hot with a damp cloth but using oil etc no way haha
I suppose its what you are used to but for me i can't bare it am i alone on this lol ?

Erm when I used my cue today after oiling last nite it felt a bit funny but after a few frames it felt great. This was my first time oiling but I spose other people prefer different options

I prefer the cue maker to take care of my cue. It is like servicing your car at the garage. I do twice a year at forest hill. John Parris. (Parris cues shop)
Refinish plus new tip £30. It looks like a brand new cue every time i collecting, you can also do it by post.
Marry Christmas every one.

Wow.. that is a very expensive servicing IMHO.
Unless you are driving a very expensive car with limited shops providing you with the servicing then it is high recommended that you go back to it own garage.
But if you are just driving a simple car whereby you can DIY, you can save alot every year. With that money saved (£60 x10years) in 10 years, you can buy another JPU!

Just wondering if anyone on here has ever tried this product ?

[jb134]

oiled my cue last nite ready for today putting a new talisman tip on later and then seeing if the cue is back up to scratch the cue is looking luvly and clean and really smooth. only problem is my hands will smell of oil for the next week or so using the cue lol

I find soap resolves this issue.

i used to use a damp cloth on my cue,, you can always see the dirt,,, but told a very good cue maker and he said "do you wash all your furniture at home"?,,,now only use danish oil,,, the main reason is to look after the wood!!,, Ive seen some very nice old ash cues where the grain has lifted!!,,,not nice having your cue fall apart in your hands!!,,, thought i heard steve davis did have this problem with his first cue,, but not 100% sure,,:snooker:

[gazza147]

I am a Fussy bugger as everybody who knows me will say!!...lol

I have always when the Cue is Dirty etc get a Flannel out of the Bathroom and Run Warm Water over it then Ring it so there is No ACCESS WATER ON Flannel then Wipe the Cue and Straight After Dry with Clean Towel.

Never Soak the Cue with Water and Especially dont leave the Access Water on the Cue!

Hope this Helps Gaz.

The cloth needs to be barely damp, not wet .... Hardly damp at all. Not enough to make the cue wet.

Does it matter how often you oil your cue is there a specific time limit when you have to oil your cue?

[cyclone crouch]

i think its a personal preference, some people oil it twice a year,, i like to do mine once a year, my cue seems perfect, its smooth,, and the grain looks healthy,,

[stus cues]

Dunlop 65 fretboard lemon oil, try this instead of linseed oil it cleans and nurishes wood ive been using this on my cues for a couple of years now and its spot on.

[Acrowot]

Is it ok for putting on pancakes, and fish dishes?

[franksandellsnooker]

It probably would taste alright. I have almost certainly ingested some over the years. It was a favorite of the original ENGLISH Barracuda cue maker who was also a superb maker of acoustic guitars. F.
