Gents,
I’m making my first cue. I’m almost at the point of finishing it so before I go any further I want to make sure I have this right. First I apply wood sealer, then epoxy sealer and finally the finish coats. Is this correct? Multiple methods on this I’ve read but I just want to keep it basic and simple. I’m thinking of using general finishes poly clear on top of the epoxy. Seems to have good reviews. One more thing... I used cocobola wood for this. When I take a cut on it there are beautiful colors of purple and gold with an orange tint to it. A couple days later these colors seem to disappear and it stays mostly yellowish gold. If I seal the cue right after my final cut will the purple colors stay? I do appreciate any help guys! Thanks, mike
