MW Q-Gel

Applications • MW Q-Gel - For general cue finishing and maintenance • Not just for cues, can be used on any wood anywhere • Use as a maintenance for previously oil finished cues • Use as a finish for new cues, or over bare wood if you have sanded all the old finish off your cue • Will last a long time if used solely for maintenance, but will also provide enough to treat several new build or completely refinished cues • Do Not use on lacquered or varnished cues because it cannot soak into the wood and work properly

Instructions 1. Wear gloves, or at least avoid skin contact. It will get sticky so it's best to keep it off your skin or clean immediately with suitable solvent based spirit or specialist cleaners. Do not use water! 2. Apply generously with a clean cloth - Rub well into the grain 3. Leave for a few minutes - Wipe off all the excess with a clean cloth or paper towel 4. Leave to dry - Preferably overnight, but can be used almost straight away if you’re in a rush 5. Buff with a clean cloth 6. Continue buffing regularly during play to keep the cue clean and help develop a natural shine

Important • Do Not leave any excess Q-Gel on the cue as it may be difficult to remove later • Better to build the finish slowly over time using thin coats that have been allowed to dry/cure thoroughly

Note • You cannot harm a cue by using too much Q-Gel • Repeat as often as you want as the wood will only take what it needs

Although not essential, I recommend using ultra fine 0000 grade steel wool to rub your cue after it is fully dry. This 'secret' step will make the cue feel super smooth in your hands and help develop the 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.
