No, that's not what they said.

They said 4-6 months.

They even said it's possible it could be a little sooner.

Who knows, I might be just a little over a month away.

Nah, count on 6 months. It's kind of like "two weeks." It will be done when it's done.

I use T-88 and it is a 24 hr cure time. It works VERY well, not cheap but worth it.

Thank's Dave. I had looked that up and ended up ordering some BSI 5 min and 15 min stuff. They say the 15 min version is there most flexible, we'll see I guess. Quite honestly the reason I didn't get the T88 was I was able to get both the 5 min and 15 min for the same price as the T88. Hope I don't regret it. It is just a spare shaft for me so if I have problems I'll just have to redo it. I do appreciate all your help.

The search function here is kind of suspect but that "hack" will get you a ton of info.

I'd bet if you gave Fedor his "Russian" back, nobody is betting against him and Filler beating whatever 2 Americans you wanna pick....unless they hate their money.

I don't know how much Shaw plays banks but I'd be willing to take team Europe(with Fedor) against the Americans with whoever is next on the list anytime

In banks I would take that bet.
Shane, Sky, Billy VS Filler, Gorst and whoever else you want from that euro team.
I don't hate my money, I just can't find it.

Someone told me the RKC stuff was very hazardous stuff and they discontinued it. Is that old or bad info? Thanks

I think it was a supplier issue, the supplier needed more quantity or something. It's no longer blue (which doesn't effect anything) but I don't think it was anything to do with being hazardous. I mean, use your head when using any chemicals, don't go huffing it, but it's probably no worse health wise than any other contact type cement stuff.

You can order it now, but there was the supplier issue a year or so ago. I don't know the entire deal so don't quote me on this, just the general gist of it.

Can't say
RKC250 is currently sold as Slocum Contact Adhesive at my supplier.

Yeah, they are using it for some other industrial use and this helps meet the quantity, just no specialized blue dye in it.

Craig Petersen cue?

Maybe made by Jim Ingram.

iirc Ingram lived in Ar or Ok

the points look a little too long, the veneers a bit too thin to be a Spain prong

could be Ingram's work the longer i look at it

I had this recently happen to me about 2 months ago. I used it to glue something together and the next day it was rubbery. I look at the bottles and one has a cloudy bottom. They were new bottles purchase earlier in the summer.

I have some 5 minute jb clear epoxy. I bought it to repair really shitty $35 house cues for the local pool hall. They are animals and crack and break the ends off all the time. Once I fix them they are stronger as they were hollowed out to maybe be LD or something... with a fat conical tapered house cue with absolutely brittle wood.

Anyway, the resin was about 6 months old and starting to be cloudy. I googled and read somewhere you can heat it up and mix it. I brought water to a boil in a pint jar , took it off the stove, and set it in there for about 20 minutes. Stirred it with a bamboo skewer. They say to let it reach room temp before using. It cleared up well and got to the normal consistency. It worked really well. I wouldn't necessarily trust it for work on a customer's cue but it did work and no problems with the cues.

There is mixed info, some say they've done it to 10 year old epoxy and it was fine, others say it might not be the same strength. It worked but again, I don't think I'd do it on paying work, these were just done for charity to help the hall out and get practice at repair work.
