Water Based Finishes

[Cue Crazy]

I mix about 8 grams . I spread it with a neoprene glove ( blue one ) . I start from the middle down. Then some at the collar then down to the middle.
If the glove slips and you can see the build-up, it's enough.

I Have some Finish Cure, haven't tried It yet though, It is priced better then the system three that I usually use. I should have mentioned that I did also seal those cues with that before using the CA. The method I use to lay the epoxy is pretty much the same as yours. I use the blue gloves, but I use playing cards also. I have a 75-100w bulb in a flexible lamp, and let the epoxy sit under that before and during the application. I believe you may have turned me on to that sometime back when I was having some issues with bubbles in the mix.

Here is how to use the General Finishes Enduro Poly.

Rotate cue on lathe and apply Enduro sanding sealer evenly to the cue with a mustard bottle and paper towel.
Sand between coats.
4 or 5 coats should seal it nicely.
Apply Enduro Gloss with a spray gun building it up until it is smooth and milky (cloudy) looking.
You need the cue rotating to do this or the finish will run.
Continue rotating cue for aout 2 hours until the gloss id dry to the touch..
Might require sanding and a second coat of gloss.
(most dont)
Let set for 24 hours then wet sand with 600 and polish out.

IMHO auto clear coat is the best finish for a cue but Enduro works well and is much safer and easier to clean up the equipment.

Sounds like a great way to seal stuff up!!!1 Thanks Willie.

Enduro

I have been finishing my cues exactly like Joey and think the finish is top-notch. Ive been spraying Enduro for over 15 years on cabinetry and have never had a finish fail, even without the crosslinker, which makes it even more durable.
