doesn't matter!
it'll just fuzz again...most likely bad roll of linen or it was never pressed to begin with
It was pressed and repressed and yes white with green spec

You've got me! Mostly, you hear people talk about linen being too slick. I haven't seen one fuzzy in about 35 years but all mine were pressed. I've never seen a pressed wrap do that. Used to be, you could get what was called "natural" linen that wasn't pressed and was supposed to be fuzzy.
some body told me to do that with starch? Have you heard of that?

I wouldn't mind knowing if there is a method to smooth out older linen either. Why not post on the "Ask the Cuemaker" forum?
I put my cue on a lathe sanded it with 600 and sprayed it with spray starch and tried to press it with a shot glass till it got hot. It got better, but I still feel some fuzzys.

You need to use a linen press after starching.
If I want to get it real glossy, I use either sanding sealer or a swipe or two of water based poly.

Pushout...Man, I'm with you. I've owned dozens of cues with pressed linen wraps, and NONE have ever had "fuzzies".
