It’s a good sign when in almost every tournament that we cover by writing up a report, there are new competitors entering our database, at which point we create a Player Profile and christen it (so to speak) by entering information about their first cash payout. This ‘good sign’ is particularly true with tournaments that draw numbers of 100 entrants or more. It is significantly notable when the first cash payout is a win in a tournament that size.

What can we use to clean shaft after each playing session or each day of pool?
When I google all i see are these methods where we need to burnish and reseal the shaft with conditioner or wax.

Thank you buddy, it was a pleasure buying cue experience and on the phone with ya. Great conversation we had and lots of knowledge you have. Thank you for trusting me.
I used Sherwin Williams Bonding Primer Aerosol and top coated with Sherwin Williams Emerald Urethane Trim Enamel. No issues 6 years later.
I cleaned them with soap and water, allowed them to dry then scuffed them up lightly with the abrasive side of a kitchen sponge. I ran a tack cloth over them before I sprayed.
Those look spectacular. Exactly the finish I am going for. I do have to do a plastic welding repair on one corner. My pieces are definitely plastic and not fiberglass. I hope I am using the correct terminology in thinking the skirt is composed of plastic pieces used to hide the ball returns and sits below the aprons composed of the wood panels which I will be staining to match the finish on my rail formica.
