Just installed a pin in a cue I'm making with a piloted 5/16x14 pin. What tips or tricks can you share to not fill that space with epoxy when you put the pin in.
Screw the pin 2/3 in. Unscrew the pin, clean the hole, wipe off excess epoxy and screw in the pin, you should be good :smile:Well after installing pin number 2 on the other cue used less. Still got epoxy in hole. Let me ask this, do you put epoxy on the centering barrel on the pin. Because when I push the pin in that's where it all scrapes off and gathers in the hole.

The really complicated cue tip and air blower that nobody uses , I guess.
Told him about and he didn't even try it .
Still asked how to get the epoxy out on his second go at it .
How the hell do you use a drill bit to remove wet epoxy ?
Why use less epoxy? Try to observe the epoxy that comes out of the channel.
Some of it will actually still go back down the hole after a while . If you use a slow setting epoxy, that is. You want that epoxy to pop.
You then clean up the excess with wet ( thinner ) qtip after the epoxy has started to flash .
Clean and blow after that.

5th. Drilling a hole in the forearm for excess glue to escape, then plug it? I wouldn't do that if you paid me to. .
The chemical in the swab only removes the epoxy that got on the face, exposed screw and the collar wall.OK, I'll bite,,,,I specifically said "kicked" epoxy by the way,,,,,,,, any buildup of epoxy that is not in the actual joint is excess, and serves no purpose other than something to clean up later, therefore, why use more than you need. But since you are doing it,,, that same epoxy has no mechanical bond to anything, since it is not in the joint, and so it is only hardened with a chemical reaction and is therefore weak and brittle. Running a properly sized drill thru the center of the insert can easily chip this brittle epoxy away.
My question to you,,,,,,, why in hell would you put a chemical that breaks down epoxy, in a joint that has been epoxied, to remove epoxy?

Not inside down the joint screw.
Who said anything about insert? He's asking about the joint screw of a piloted joint.
Who said anything about that?
