Wax on Irish Linen?

[TwoRailDave]

I really like my linen wrap a little tacky. Lucasi has what seems like an additional wax coat on their linen...at least their older cues. When I have a

really smooth, slippery double pressed linen wrap, I usually take some wax paper and rub it fast over the wrap. This wax application doesn't leave the

permanent feel I'm looking for. I have to apply it often and the cue becomes slippery again. I know some makers use the wax paper when the cue's on the

lathe, but is there a different way to apply a more substantial amount of wax?

I would stick to spray starch instead if the wax I think it should give you the tackiness you desire

You can get it an any grocery store

I switched from linen to leather because the linen always became too slick for me and I got tired of rubbing wax paper on it.

All different kinds of leather wraps to suit your visual and texture preference. I ended up with black elephant ear (fake, leather embossed EE pattern).
