OB-1 Cue Shaft Cleaning
and Conditioning
Care
and Maintenance of the
OB-1 Cue Shaft is really not any different than other cue shafts.
If you are not comfortable
doing this yourself, by all means find a local cue smith and have it
done for
you!
Here is how we do it:
We
start by removing the
surface dirt and hand oils. This is most easily done with a mild
abrasive like
the dark side of the OB Cues Q Wiz shaft conditioner. Remember, it only
takes a
couple of passes! You don’t want to sand away the wood!
Next we clean the
cue shaft
using a Mr. Clean Magic Eraser, available at your local grocery store,
soaked
lightly with denatured alcohol. Denatured alcohol is available at the
hardware
store. We use it instead of rubbing alcohol because it has less water
in it.
Rub the eraser up and down the shaft until it is clean.
The magic eraser will clean
the shaft, but it will also raise the grain slightly. You will need to
lightly
sand the shaft with a very fine abrasive like the light side of the OB
Cues Q
Wiz. Use this to burnish the shaft back smooth. You should then seal
the cue
shaft using a quality cue sealer or wax.
