Spraying Gold Crown Skirts

Island Drive
Rachel74557 said:
Just finishing a large spraying project and plan to do my GC skirts next. When I looked at primers I found that there are 7 or 8 types of plastics out there and I am told that the choice of primer depends on the type of plastic so does anyone know the specific type of plastic the skirts were molded from? Or, alternatively, maybe recommend a primer that you have used on the skirts? I would prefer using my spray guns to rattle cans. Either way can be costly as I found out at the automotive paint store thinking a primer for plastic bumpers.

Which GC? 1 2 3?
The whole underframe and aprons take less than an hr to strip (corn blaster).

Here's what they look like, and you can then stain em the color of choice. Then clear coat em, 2 layers for hm, 3 for commercial.

Please. Chezka made what should have been a match-ending error at 8-6 behind when she left herself an inch from the 1ball. That she had a shot at all was pretty lucky, but the fact that the shot offered shape onto the only other solid on the table was a huge stroke of luck. This match probably should have been 9-6.

I always applaud your insight but they went into the last game of the match a 8-8 the dead two ball combo was a stroke of luck for Jasmine, as It didn't look like she had any other shot. I stand by this and I think either could have won this thing, sorry

The best butt for under $2000

Bavafongoul
I mentioned butt weight because I am not a fan of using any weight bolt weighing more than 7 grams. (1/4 oz.)
Anything more and the cue maker missed the mark building your cue. If a 1/2 oz. addt’l butt weight was needed,
then it should be cored to accept 2 headless 1/4 oz. bolts that can be positioned within the cue butt instead of a
single 1/2 oz. bolt. If a cue maker needed even more weight to meet your specs, you need a different cue maker.
Sticking a 3/4 -1 oz. weight bolt, or heavier, in a cue’s butt doesn’t deserve paying $2k or more for that pool cue.

Now what I am expressing is my opinion but Bob Owen built a cue that I ordered sans weight bolt & with a weight
of 18.5 ozs. The cue took awhile but when it arrived, it weighed 18.53 ozs. A great cue maker can build you almost
anything you want except if either you or the cue maker reside in a state with ivory restrictions which prohibits using
any ivory. However, there are substitute materials that resemble ivory but, of course, do not exhibit ivory’s properties.
Aside from that, you’ll likely run into a waiting list even for just a butt which requires the majority of the total build hrs.

Littman Lights... are they worth it?

S
I bought a littman 7x2 last year for my 9’ table. Took about 10 weeks get it. It’s dimmable but not wired for from factory. Needs 0-10v dimmer switch if you want it dimmed. 5k color temp so it’s pretty white. I think it’s around 11k lumens. The egg crate diffuser is great. Minimal bleed to the rest of the room. My eyes don’t get strained during long sessions.

Mounting points are about 12” in from each end. Comes with a length of aircraft cable to hang it. Frame is extruded aluminum with t-track slots on the inside in case you need replacement parts. Fixtures on mine are 2x 2x2 and 2x 1x2 led flat panels. If they go out they’re easy to replace.

They both played great but I suspect that if Jasmine wasn't left that dead two ball combo after the break on that last game we most likely would have had a different winner. That's pool the pool Gods were looking after Jasmine in this match but as I said they both played fantastic.

I'd call anybody that learns all the conceptualization skills of pool in a year to be a miracle worker. I think it takes about two years of dedicated study to pick these skills up. I'm not sure that a month with Efren would make that much difference.

As has so often been the case, Chezka lost with errors in judgment rather than errors in cueing. By my count, she misplayed three racks, including the rack in which she trailed 8-6, but despite finishing an inch from the next ball, she not only had a shot but one offering position. Jasmin played the table consistently better than Chezka and was the deserving champion.

When Chezka learns to make the kind of decisions that her legendary countrywoman Rubilen Amit makes, she will start to win more at the majors. Her cueing skills are comparable to those of Siming Chen and Han Yu, but her conceptualization skills have not developed well, and it is arguable whether they have developed at all in the last couple of years. She was already a very elite cueist at 18. At 26, she's no up and comer but instead a woman in her playing prime.

Chezka has the potential to mass produce major titles. Based in the Philippines, she will always be around some players that have super-elite conceptualization skills. That would seem to bode well for her, but she needs to tidy things up if she is to realize her amazing potential.

I'm a Chezka Centeno fan and would like to see her break out and start mass producing major titles as I feel she can.

How to stop wood shaft warping.

F
I have a funny story on the subject. I met a buddy of mine to play pool one day and he asked to borrow a cue. I asked where his was (a Richard Black). He told me he kept it in his truck and it froze the night before and every time it freezes the shaft get wet and sticky as it goes back to a normal temperature.

Of course I told him he cannot under any circumstances leave his cue in his truck. He looked at me kind of confused and said he always had. Spring summer winter and fall. For years his cue lived in his truck. The next time we played I rolled that cue. Straight as an arrow.
