Anybody Got An Easy Fuzzy Irish Linen Fix

[HawaiianEye]

I have a couple of cues with Irish linen wraps that are fuzzing up a bit. Is there an EASY solution to remedy this? I don't have a lathe and I've tried the wax paper trick by hand, but that isn't very effective.

I would appreciate any advice.

Thanks in advance and a happy holidays to all.

I have heard you can rub the wrap with wax paper to alieve the fuzziness.

Get your local cue-repairman to repress it and polish it on his lathe.

Yup, and you can take care of shaping your tip at the same time.

Here's what you do:

1. Sit in a chair on a carpet.

2. Orient the cue vertical, tip-up, with the rubber butt of the cue resting on one of those furniture-leg floor sliders on the carpet.

3. Reach up with one hand, and hold a tip shaper -- one with a concave shaping depression -- against the tip. (E.g. CueShark PUP, Ultimate Tip Tool, etc.)

4. With the other hand, use a box-cutter to gently cut one end of the irish linen at one of its ends (e.g. nearest where it ends at the forearm or the butt).

5. Grab that now-loose end of the irish linen, and pull HARD -- and I mean really HARD -- to spin the cue at high speed.

6. Voila! You take care of the woolly irish linen and tip-shaping problems in one fell swoop, as well as preparing your cue for a better wrap.

You can sand it with 2500 wet/dry 3m sandpaper. Repress it and seal it. Comes out great.

What supplies are necessary for pressing and sealing?

you will a lathe and wrap press . I suggest taking to your local repair guy and have him do it.
