I like your comments as you are working. I am not an cue maker but just marble at your skills!

[@justinbryson352]

That was really cool. That was a lot of work for just $60. Now I understand why the local repair guys in my city only offer leather wraps, and not linen.

[@jamesgoodpaster2381]

thanks for the videos I'm doing cue repairs and learning to build cues and I love watching how other people do things

[@thedevilinthecircuit1414]

Super simple way to remove the old glue residue: run the lathe slowly and use a large flat fine single-cut metal file. Lay the file on the spinning cue and allow the weight of the file to do the work; clean the file frequently with a file card. The smooth teeth remove no wood but perfectly plane off the old glue residue.

[@justinbryson8695]

I really liked the video. It was very interesting. I watched a self proclaimed cue repair person do a linen wrap in person, and he skipped like 90% of the steps you did, during the process. Great job.

[@Cuejo]

Thanks! I’m glad you enjoyed the video!

[@HereAfterBilliards]

I learned a tonne watching you do this job. You missed your calling as a teacher. I look forward to future videos! 👍

[@Cuejo]

Thanks Andreas! It was a pleasure having you in the shop! Many more in the future!

[@ShaftmanOld7]

Like fine wine, takes time to do right.

[@Cuejo]

It takes a few minutes for sure!

[@joelmata1984]

Bruh, you went over all the basics, exceptional job! I have a foot control and it makes this chore so much easier! Nice tip about the Iron and starch,I struggled through my first linen wrap a couple weeks ago till I found this video!

[@Cuejo]

I’m glad you enjoyed it and it helped you out!

[@deckape1325]

Could you use ultra fine sandpaper to remove the leftover string and glue. Also, McDermott does replace linen wraps on all of their cue sticks and also they might be able to fix the warp. Check out McDermott's policy.

[@sauletto1]

This video is next level awesomeness. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience with us! I have added this information permanently to the future uses area in my brain . :)

[@dalevincent1375]

Wow! Just a Great Learning Video! Thank You ….

[@Poolproaz]

I spin the cue and z3 use a piece of 320 grit sandpaper to clean off all that fuzz left under the old linen. You can mask off the cue at both ends so you don’t scratch the finish.

[@mrlandos]

Love it 2nd time around, watched. Where to get the tool for flattening the wrap? Thanks

[@jackerocket]

I could only find it on Aliexpress. $154.80 for 1, $280 for 2.

[@mrlandos]

@@jackerocket Thanks Love all of you videos

[@mbond1031]

Great video, I'd like to try this wrap on a metal handle, any suggestions on the glue for putting it on metal, hoping that is has some durability. Thanks again, Looking forward to more videos.

[@mrlandos]

very helpful, please make more videos. thanks

[@Cuejo]

[@MrBunepsong]

nice video... can you estimated the length of the linen wrap needed for standar cue?

[@kennewhouse3806]

Great Video - was really curious how this was done - Have an old cue and may need this done in the future - Definitely need an experienced cue maker to to this well

[@Cuejo]

I’m glad you enjoyed it! I ship repairs all over ;)

[@loganbemis125]

Looks wonderful, do you still do this and if so how much do you charge?

[@antmaffia]

Awesome video and craftsmanship. Curious how many feet or yards of linen on a typical cue?

[@Cuejo]

Hi, I’m glad you liked the video. Most cues have somewhere around 55 yards of linen in the wrap :)

[@MasonTothCoach]

Where did you get your linen flattening tool and how much was it?

[@leeallen7964]

Ever thought about getting a new variable speed controller that will run that dc motor slower? Makes doing linen wraps much easier. And the linen press, I made one for 30 bucks worth of aluminum and left over delving from making custom collars.

[@Cuejo]

I can make it much slower yep, I usually spin the cue faster, but it needs to be pretty straight for me to go faster

[@leeallen7964]

@@Cuejo any way you do it, linen wraps are a pain in the ass and necessary evil of this industry.

[@Cuejo]

Wait until my next video goes up. Man I hated that one 😂

[@leeallen7964]

@@Cuejo looking forward to it.

[@coteybrading4596]

Are there wrap jobs that have wax coating at the end to seal the wrap?

[@anthonynasso7625]

Nice job ....if you do stacked leather wraps, that would be awesome/interesting to see.

[@Cuejo]

I will see what I can do 🤔

[@hookerlooker68]

Id like to see that also.

[@josephfry9982]

Alcohol and water mixture spray it onto it, scrub it down with a cloth that comes off very easy

[@DonGrozni]

Great job

[@Cuejo]

Thank you very much :)

[@DonGrozni]

@@Cuejo Do you have some private mail i would like to ask some questions or talk with you. Thx

[@Cuejo]

@@DonGrozni you can message me directly on Facebook, @cuejos customs

[@edwingmjo]

What is the lathe? Where can I buy that?

[@tariboclaxton2123]

is there any other way to press the wrap without that fancy tool?

[@anastasiaarchipov3512]

Hey there :) Very usefull video - thank you for that! Do you use waxed yarn for this? Somehow I have problems to find a right supplier in Europe 🙈

[@jaxtoystv9037]

Great job dad 👍

[@Cuejo]

Thank you son :)

[@drdoompoon7116]

Where are you located and how much would this cost.

[@pauloroldao5764]

Hi, Paulo here. What type of glue do you use for the linen wrap?

[@thedevilinthecircuit1414]

It was an Elmer's Glue stick. Same stuff you can buy at any office supply shop. It's like a big fat Chapstik. But don't use it in place of Chapstik

[@olivertabares1735]

How do u get a new Irish linen wrap to get less slippery? Just got a new predator and the wrap is too slick. Does the starch help that or make it worse?

[@Cuejo]

You could try a light clean with a small amount of laundry detergent and water mixed. Don’t get it too wet. The fibres will raise a bit. We generally desire the smooth finish, but everyone likes a different thing Hope that helps!

[@พงษ์เดชหาขาย]

I need a tool like you, where can I order?

[@Cuejo]

The linen press can be order at cuestik.com

[@rogerdawley9476]

Where can I get one of those linen press tools?

[@Cuejo]

They are available from cuestik.com and uniqueinc.com

[@joelmata1984]

Any hints with pressed tips ,I feel like the Milk duds im installing aren't looking the best, and I'm an amateur.

[@Cuejo]

I have quite a few live videos on my Facebook page on tips, you should check those out :)

[@joelmata1984]

Just saw the video, you just happened to be at the right spot at the right time ! Thank you!

[@Cuejo]

Glad to be of help!

[@Celophanewrap]

What’s the thread size of the linen?

[@Cuejo]

Hi, You can order the correct linen for wraps from cuestik.com

[@bruceowens9453]

Can para-cord, work as a wrap?

[@Cuejo]

I think para cord is way too thick

[@mikerackhabbit1296]

Scraping up vinyl/linoleum floors with a 4 inch scraper blade in a huge building (especially if its really old and what we call "stuck like chuck".) I gotta say that it's pretty similar to what your doing only try doing a "few thousand" square feet of it in a day.🤘🎱🤠🚬💣🚽💥🔥💨〰〰⚪💥🎱 🕳)🔸\

[@Cuejo]

Hahahaha, noooope I’m good ;)

[@Qtrainer]

Could you just sand the old linen wrap off? Rather then using a razor blade? : )
