Minwax in cue shafts?

[smiling_Hans]

Got one if those cheapo cue. The shaft feels like it’s raw and not treated.

Can I put Minwax on it?

Try this: Get some 2000 to 3000 grit sandpaper and lightly sand the shaft. Then get some shaft cleaner (Cueman has a good one) to clean the shaft. His sealer is quite good too. If all you have is Minwax, then wax and buff the shaft. BTW, Cueman makes a good shaft wax too.

Renaissant (sp?)wax gets great reviews

2-3K sandpaper is pretty cheap. McDermott makes a kit that sands the shaft all the way up to 10k

Best way to clean for me so far is this: use MagicEraser with 90%alcohol. Will not open the grain and removes a TON of gunk. I've taken shafts that were blue-black and got them damn near like new this way. Afterwards i hit with a 2500-3500 pad https://bulletproofbreaktips.com/products/shaft-m8 I don't usually wax but any good wax will work.
