Sealing the wrap

[Wazted]

What is the general feeling about sealing the wrap? Are there compelling reasons one way or the other?

If you mean applying finish to the wrap (like Muecci) I definately think that's a waste of time. Might as well do a wrapless butt. If you mean waxing and pressing to "seal" the wrap I think that's a good idea.

So is it possible to have an existing wrap waxed and pressed or does it require a complete rewrap? Sorry if the answer should be obvious but I honestly have no clue how this is done.

As long as the butt is straight, pressing a wrap is no problem.

If we are speaking of an Irish Linen wrap I do not recommend sealing the wrap with wax because the wax will attract dirt and hold it in the cord making it filthy in a short time. A properly applied Irish Linen wrap that is pressed properly needs nothing but time on the pool table. Good Luck.
