    Bob Meucci puts this coating on the wraps for a GOOD reason. It protects the delicate Irish Linen and maintains it's color and beauty. Any cuemaker that removes this coating is harming your cue and probably doesn't understand

    Just seeing this 24 years after you wrote it , and it was under the google search (a company not publicly traded at the time) how the hell do I remove this stupid urethane off irish linen./ I've played with meucci's since 1990s on and off - and I have
    always wondered why the hell they put it on there when little guys like bill @ josswest, or Jacoby, or espuruto or tdb or stout, schon, preacher , yada yada yada..... all let you feel a nice wrap and I've never had any of those explode. I've kinda
    wondered it it just a really cheap fake linen and the coatings so you will never know.... which considering the price point of the other boys kinda makes more and more sense
