MW Q-Age

2) Apply generously, working well into every section of grain over the entire length of the shaft.

3) Buff with clean cloth or paper towel until there is no residue left on the surface.

4) Finish with an application of MW Q-Gel. This will 'clean' the surface, seal the Q-Age in the grain, and enhance the overall depth of colour leaving a warm and natural mature/antique appearance. Some areas may not take on the colour well, due to very shallow depth of grain or possibly blocked areas of grain. You may be able to achieve a better result by applying small amounts to the specific individual areas only. Make sure you get some colour into whatever grain is available and then wipe off excess lightly so that you do not inadvertently 'drag' it out. Leave to dry for 24 hours and buff with a clean cloth.

Important Do Not leave any excess Q-Age on the cue as it will stain your hands or clothing

Note For new bare wood, it is recommended that you apply MW Q-Gel first. • This will bring out the natural colour, seal the wood, and generally just make it easier/better.
Although not essential, I recommend using ultra fine 0000 grade steel wool to rub your cue after any application of MW Q-Gel, once it is fully dry. This 'secret' step will make the cue feel smoother in your hands and help develop a natural sheen/shine quicker. You can also re-apply Q-Gel straight after this if the wood feels 'dry' or unsealed in any areas. Initially, the cue may not be as shiny as you want, but after a few weeks of regular buffing with a cue towel or other soft cloth, the oil finish will mature, harden, and develop a deep and natural shine. Alternatively, if you want an instant, deeper shine, you can apply MW Q-Lac
