Yes, but leaving the factory finish on.

what is the WORST thing to do to a cue shaft or Butt? .....Immerse it in water.....
BUT, In My opinion....it's the same as putting your pen!s in an electrical outlet....you'll be shocked with the results!

Hydro dipped removes finish and deposits a layer of metal. It’s a chemical process. This yahoo must mean something else!

I think you might be thinking of anodizing?
Hydro dipping is just paint on the surface of water as far as I understand. It means you have to submerge the cue in water, which is an obvious no-no.

I wouldn't dip a cue in liquid. You are probably causing more harm then good

Steaming wood turns it into cooked spaghetti. JMO…

Hydrographics application will not cause any harm to a pool cue but especially if it already has a good finish on it.

If he's only dipping sealed wood, and protecting the ends with tape, and only in there for 10 seconds or so, I would think you could get away with that. Remove it and immediately hang to dry/cure for a while.

Clearly it has been done, based upon the videos. Heck, lots of builders wet-sand, which isn't that much of a difference..

At what $$ cue would you not dip it? If you have an answer to that question, don’t dip it!

this would probably help all those $5k + plain ass southwest cues ... hahaha

 

[Shooter08]

Is it me or are those skulls on the handle?

 

[tg_vegas]

Sure looks like it. You can get all sorts of graphics on those dipping films.

im glad u saw my vid, it was an older Mcdermott cue and i was very aprehensive in immersing cue in water , but i gave it a go and cue is allright and still in action,those skulls id say are the best i got out of hydro dipping, i did other HD on stuff and i found out ,do not go cheap buy the best product you can, btw i sealed skulls with epoxy then cleared over them with Chroma clear...
