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. ![](http://www.waterputty.com/lastfront.gif)

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. ![](/boards/images/graemlins/smile.gif)

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. ![](/boards/images/graemlins/smile.gif) 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. ![](/boards/images/graemlins/wink.gif)

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 ![](/boards/images/graemlins/smile.gif)

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. ![](/boards/images/graemlins/wink.gif)
