Lizard wrap question

I just got a new cue that has a lizard wrap. I love the look but the feel is taking a little getting used to. It seems dry and smooth to the touch and plays more like a linnen wrap.

Is there any type of leather treatment that can be applied to cue wraps to give them a little more tack?

Thanks all,
Steve
 
Feibings leather care products makes a product for the care of reptile skin.
It will soften up your wrap.

I highly recommend Aussie Leather Conditioner with Beeswax. This is what I use on the leather wraps that I manufacture.
This especially works great on natural cowide. It will slightly tan the natural cowide but also give it a nice tacky feeling.

I don't recommend using any leather conditioner that has silicone in it because this will clog the leather pores and reduce the life of the leather.

If you have any questions you can feel free to PM here or you can contact me through my website at www.castilloleathergoods.com
 
is it real or embossed? i have heard a few players say the lizard takes getting use too. after a few times you forget its even there...
 
I have a half dozen faux ostrich skin wraps, Dave.
They are very well done and good looking. I just can't get my head around
what all those little bumps might feel like. Probably won't slip outta your hand tho.
 
I've got the same situation with a new leather wrap. Good info, thanks.....
