Hello everyone, I just wanted to pass along a helpful hint or two, I have been using the magic eraser for cleaning shafts and doing various repairs for some time now and have found it to work well for "wetting" a cue down during sanding between coats and virtually eliminating my need to use a spray bottle and many times after I finish sanding my cues I have a ton of used sandpaper filled with the normal fine wood gunk.....enter the magic eraser...I found that by using the eraser on the sandpaper cleans it back to almost new....saving lots of paper that I normally would toss.....also, I had a recent lathe repair and found that the eraser also removes hard to remove oils and grease from your hands....maybe a mechanics newest tool?....lol

Happy building

Those erasers are the nuts, I just used one to remove a fingerprint from an unsanded bubinga forearm. I had picked up the forearm to move it out of the way while working on my lathe, and left an oily fingerprint right on the joint area after I had already finished sanded. It took a little efort, but the eraser removed it! I was surprised. I used alittle bit of denatured acohol.

Thanks for the tip. That should sure beat blowing out the sandpaper with my air gun and sending dust all over the place.
