cue refinishing

[macguy]

Any good methods for removing an old finish before doing a refinishing? I usually just sand it off carefully, I am afraid of using any kind of stripper, is there a better way? Thanks

Since no one else is replying...

I'm not a cuemaker (interested though) but i am into "refinishing" vehicles.
Sanding down (or off) the old finish is propbably the best approach.

Try: Southern Polyurethane Universal Clear

(I painted the yellow bike in the photo gallery )

Chip resistant, flows near perfect, buffs easy, high gloss, durable, etc...
Sounds like the same qualities a cuemaker is looking for as well.
