How many cues is too much?

I did a search on Renaissance Wax. I must have more than a dozen posts on this topic.
It is important to steam treat any nicks, dents, scrapes or scuffs on your wood cue shaft.
Based on the severity, it might take a dozen treatments or more if the shaft is damaged.

I can walk you through the physical process and you can call me 559-977-6944 (PST).
Meanwhile, I found these that should get you started. Rennaisance Wax comes in two
sizes (65 ml & 200 mil) and is available thru the Internet. I always buy it using eBay.

Sir, I seem to associate wax with stickyness but having never used it before, could you explain to me where the slickness comes from by applying it..?

And many thanks for offering a phone consultation on the subject, that is very generous of you and I wish for your generosity to return to you a thousand fold...

I cannot explain the chemical composition nor how it creates a smooth finish. The wax is described as micro fine bubbles and it is used by the British Museum and other restoration specialists. I pay more attention to the end result instead of the chemical composition and properties of Renaissance Wax. I have recommended and promoted this wax as the best to use whereas all the others as basically crap in contrast with Renaissance Wax.

If there are any forum readers that tried Rennaisance Wax at my urging, please do chime in. Did I steer you wrong? Are
you pleased with the product? Yes, it is pricey but the damn wax is just amazing if you apply it properly and cleaned your shaft before using it. Remember if your shaft has dings, dents, scuffs, etc., Rennaisance Wax will not remove these and in all likelihood make it more noticeable because the rest of the shaft will be smooth so the damage would be more noticeable to yout touch. Always treat the damage first and restore the shaft before using Renaissance Wax.

I use it on pen blanks after finished. Some jewelry. Ferrules. Good stuff. Expensive? Well worth it.

Sticky?

This isn’t candle wax.

Think more like car wax.

It's hard and polishes.

Think of how smooth and slick a properly waxed car is.
