Removing coating from linen wraps
Jeff Cavanagh
of lamination or coating on their wraps. I assume this is standard with
Meucci cues, but both players would rather be able to feel the wrap. Is
there a way to remove the coating, or can it be done by a cuemaker? It
seems to me you would have to use a thicker wrap for it to be even with the
rest of the butt. Thanks in advance for any advice!

Any good cue repair shop or cuemaker can do it , Meucci does it, you can call
them at 1800 5 Meucci, cost should be the cost of a standard rewrap job 25-40
bucks.

delicate Irish Linen and maintains it's color and beauty. Any cuemaker that
removes this coating is harming your cue and probably doesn't understand
that ALL CUES should have this special coating.

B. I am related to BM by blood or marriage

Isn't Meucci also responsible for the "Maxima" (I think that's the name !)
brand name of cues. Maxima wraps aren't laminated !

One of those propane blowtorches would probably be just the ticket.

This is like putting on nonremovable plastic covers on your furniture.
What's the point? You might as well use cheap nylon wraps.
I thought you were just fishing, but you are actually serious, aren't
you?

the lamination. That stuff must cost 15 cents a gallon!

Meucci has several good reasons for putting the coating on his wraps, but
the "delicacy" of Irish linen isn't one of them. Irish linen is a tough
material, well suited to hundreds - if not thousands - of hours of handling.
It generally gets replaced only because it becomes soiled with dirt and
stained with chalk dust. The reason it has largely replaced cork and
leather wraps is that players like its ability to absorb perspiration, and
find 'the hand sticking to the cue' feeling unpleasant.
There are less drastic methods of maintaining the color and cleanliness of a
wrap than coating it. Washing your hands is one. Wiping down your cue
after you play is another. And if the wrap starts to show dirt, cleaning it
is not a big deal.
Removing the coating on a cue wrap is strictly a personal preference, as are
so many other things when it comes to pool cues, and I can't see how it can
"harm" a cue. If it's your cue, you should make it work for you and ignore
such silliness...

Years ago I was told that Meucci coated his wraps because the coating is not as
slippery as the irish linen and that therefor you can grip the cue less tightly
and still maintain the proper 'traction' between the hand and the cue. But
surely Bob or someone who works with him reads RSB and can respond!?

what IS the real purpose of the laminated wrap? to preserve the original beauty
of the wrap of the cue? why not just put the cue in a glass case without
lamination and look at it all day long.. duh -- or is it Dah? Just play
pool! rack um!

foresleeve. but then they may use a thinner wrap material. Have a custom cue
maker or cuesmith do this work, its not a home project.
