How to refresh the "Logo" on a Schon Butt

sure ? .... i think about it but i`m not sure .... but if
it is ok ... it`s fine .... take the cuemaker also Crayon ?

you mean "wax Crayon" right ?

greetings
 
Yes, rub a black crayon over it, then wipe off the excess, but there need to be some depth left on the engraving. Sometimes there is a lot of wear on old Schons and the logo is quite shallow. Usually from heavy use...sliding in and out of a snug-fitting case or perhaps even a shoddy refinish job at some point.

Seen a few old Schon that were so worn so badly you would swear there was no logo there, only to see it very faintly upon close inspection...a slight impression where the logo once boldly appeared.
 
Pretty sure the Crayon trick originated with McDermott, who used a green Crayon after engraving their logo with a small pantograph - probably where Bob Runde learned it. As I recall, after the new plant was built the pantograph station was located in the shipping department and the butt plates were engraved and colored in only after the cue had passed final inspection, immediately prior to shipping.

I've used fabric paint to fill engravings flush. Then gently sand away any excess amount. The fabric paint is thicker and fills nicely. Never had any problem with finishing right over the top of it.

You can find these at any Micheal's and there's tons of color options.

Mask off the area around the logo so only it is exposed and paint it with Black nail polish. Then use a damp (nail polish remover) cloth to clean the excess. Has worked on GOLD CROWN counters.

Crayon was used in my bowling ball engraving over 30 years ago...

Since Bob helped Jim set up the original Mcdermott equipment, hence the M/R line, Mcdermott/Runde, it may be that Jim got the idea from Bob.
