I was going to use Bees Wax, as that is what Muellers Sporting Goods told me to use, however, then I talked to Iowa Bowling and Billiards and they said not to use the Bees Wax, for whatever reason. They recommended I use this, and it worked great.

I question the "experts" at Muellers. You probably made the better choice.

the bees wax is very flexible, however, it can dent if you drop a ball on it, this stuff is awesome and manufactured right here in Iowa.

Or if a ball hops onto it... if you have a three piece top, one of these seams will end up fairly close to the top of the rack... a place where the cue ball often gets some height on the break.

That stuff is pretty much the same thing as Fix-all I think. How long can you work with it before it sets up?
Oh, love the color. I bet it's very relaxing on the eye, but still light enough to gauge your shot.

You mix a little water with it and stir it up to form the putty. Not sure exactly how long you have, but I had plenty of time to fill the two seems. Once hard the excess sanded off smooth as a babies butt. The color matches our bar wall almost perfectly. Sure looks nicer than the originial green color when my dad purchased it back in the 70's.

You did a nice job on the table Randy. If I ever make it out your way I'll be sure to bring my cue

That is next on my list, most of the cues we have are the kind you see in bars. However, I'm pretty good with the 21oz'er.
