I have a few early Palmers. Some with Dacron wrap. What size and what is the availability of the Dacron thread used on these cues? Also interested in Cortland, & some original Blue Mountain. Any Ideas?
Thanks

Dacron wrap
- Thread starter blackwidows
- Start date
It is a common thread found at fishing shops in different sizes. It usually has a consistent coloring of the threads and creates sort of a spiral pattern, unlike irish linen that is random. Thing is though, it is like nylon and is not absorbent. It can feel awful if your hands sweat.

Bowyers use Dacron (b500) to make strings for recurves and longbows...
Check bcy fibers or just go to an archery shoppe and see if they can hook you up with a small spool....comes in many colors
Serving material is made out of "spectra" that would be easier to find....atleast in black and white...Farm and Fleet or maybee Walmart carries it.

woops.......
When he says Dacron does he just mean plain old Nylon???
if thats the case you can get that anywhere....
i shoot bows and i make my own strings....so i was thinking Dacron as in Dacron not nylon....they are differnt materials..
heres some Dacron fishing line....comes in 20, 30, 50 lb diameters.....not sure what size youd want for a cue wrap

I have several spools of the old nylon/dacron wrap from the old Brunswick factory that was in Cincinnati back in the early pre-depression days. Some of it is solid colors some are striped with contrasting colors giving you aprox 1" stripes. I also have some of the original marblized swirly plastics to match the shaft ringwork and some of the original small Ivory ferrules, buckhorn ferrules and a lot more for restoring these antique cues. I used to have about 40 of the old brunswick ebony spliced shafts. The only ones I still have are very small. I still have bins full of old brunswick antique cues. The ones with the real fat butts and sharp points on top and bottom. Not many Titlist left though and I'm definately not getting off the ones I have.
