Varnish on a pool cue --- also known as a snooker cue --- can add a sticky residue to the cue. This residue prevents the cue from naturally sliding along your fingers, which causes you to miss-hit the ball, even on easy shots. Eliminating this varnish makes the cue look and feel new and also saves you money that's otherwise spent on a new cue. You must use caution when removing the varnish, however, to avoid stripping the wood from the cue.
