Smoke in wrap

[atthecat]

I just received a cue that has a thick cigarette smoke in the wrap. really strong! What's the best way to remedy that without damaging it?
Thanks

Nice and to the point, but that may do bad things to it. I tried cleaning my wrap out that way (16 yr old linen wrap, smokey and a bit dirty) and it ended up looking frayed. Mike Webb cleaned up my cue and re-pressed the wrap, ended up good as new. Clean no smell and felt like a new one.

I'd bring it to a cue repair person, they'd be able to get it cleaned up for cheap money.

By far the best product I've come across is Ozium. You might have to search for it.

Cue cleaner should do it, but don't over do it. Go back with a bit of sealer.
