He put a copy in the mail for me to print. Unfortunately, it is the size he wants printed and not the original. I could have done alot more with the original size.
I'll post when I get a few copies printed.
its done
i got it on the 23 try. i don't know if i an stupid or just hard headed.
i used the 20 waterslides and never got one to stick enough to hold a clear coat. i tried about 15 different ways and just could not get it to work.
i took the orignal photo to walmart and had 4 more copies made.
the 3rd one worked great. i cut a groove like i was going to do a wrap. i then cut the photo to size. i then used super glue to glue the center of the photo, just a thin strip down the middle of the photo. i then applied tight bond to the photo and the cue, i let it get sticky then wrapped it onto the cue. i used the back [ non sticky ] side of the blue painters tape, wrapped it let it dry overnight.
i then used 20 minute finish epoxy, first layer thick, i put it on my drying set-up and spun it slow for about an hour. i did this about 10 times using thinner layers of finish, sanding it almost off each time.
i have more time in this simple cue, than any other cue i have ever made.
