    Cue Silk™ Table Cleaner Scam

    Tried that. They do not have one. Cue Silk Web Site has nothing. I could run a GC/MS on a sample of the stuff, but the initial analysis of color, scent and the bottle all indicate that it is off the shelf LAs Totally Awesome. If it walks, quacks and poops like a duck...

    Cue Silk™ Table Cleaner Scam

    This batch came from Billiard City in Florida. They have tried to "explain" to me that Cue Silk just buys the LAs Totally Awesome bottles and puts their special cleaner in them. I'll call BS on that.

    Cue Silk™ Table Cleaner Scam

    There are limited warnings on the PTC bottle and no MSDS online for it either. The Totally Awesome MSDS is pretty tame, especially when compared to brake cleaner . Good thought.

    Thanks. While I did get burned, I'm only a little angry about it. The stuff does work and I get a lot of free table time for taking care of the room.

    JJ ball cleaning foul

    Not believable that the Captain of the team didn't know the rules. Looks like JJ had a bet down on the Europeans and dumped.
