Decided to put a new tip on an old sneaky pete and use it as a break stick from now on. Finish was peeling off and the plastic butt ring had previously been glued on with the glue visible and butt actually wider than the wood.
So, I said screw it and sanded the whole thing down removing the finish to bare wood. Worked on the butt ring then and flush and smooth as could be.
Now... what is the best way to go about sealing and finishing this? I've never refinished a cue or anything before so asking advice. I did find some information about using thin 'cyanoacrylate' which appears to be super glue... putting a few coats on then sanding it down to a gloss finish. Seems really odd to me that glue would be used as the sealer/finish.
What would you recommend? The sneaky isn't great and I don't even know the name, but I will say that from what I've done so far it looks pretty darn good and the grain turned out beautiful... the reason I would like to finish it off with a nice gloss as well.
Thanks for any info.
