Well, I talked to a local cuemaker yesterday. He said he would dress my wrap for me and see if that helps. Lots of players wear the bridge hand glove at this particular poolroom due to the humidity. I don't store my cue in the car and the inside of my case is not wet. Since this only happens at that particlar poolroom I believe the problem is there and since my wrap has no dressing it easily absorbs the moisture. I'm going to let the cuemaker dress my wrap and see if that solves it. It can't hurt anything and it might actually help to preserve my 40 year old wrap.
Thanks for all the responses.
By the way, he also told me the bees wax would be a disaster.
I also shoot with a JOSS of similar age.
A proper dressing of the wrap may help. It probably needs a little TLC anyway and it will likely help preserve it. You didn't say how he intends to dress the wrap. Personally, if it were my JOSS, I would want to know. There are different ways of doing it.
I don't have this problem with my JOSS, but I do have some thoughts.
What kind of case are you using? You might be surprised, if you have put the wet cue away in it, it probably is holding a lot of moisture.
My wrap does get a
little wet sometimes, just from my hands. I just air dry it, out of the case. But it has never been so wet as you describe.
There have been times when condensation has really built up on my wrap. I found that after I came here to Florida and would go in and out of air conditioning. I literally hung the cue butt in my closet for three days one time to make sure it was dry after such an episode.
Air dry the cue if/when it happens, outside the case.
Also, air dry the case. Leave the case open.
You could also drop one or two of those little Silica Gel Desiccant packs into the case.
My wrap, by the way, has never really been touched outside of me wiping it off. It shows it too, but if feels and works perfectly:
