I’m starting out with cue repair (I’m nowhere near where I’d work on a customer cue), and I’m wondering what the proper/preferred way to replace a threaded ferrule.
• I know a heat gun will soften many adhesives, and then the ferrule can be carefully screwed off.
• I imagine the old ferrule could just be turned down, and a unthreaded replacement glued to the tenon... but that seems less than ideal.
Is there anything else that’s a better idea? Are there videos/books that help explain the process?
I know it’s a good idea to practice on house cues; or even wooden dowels... shafts aren’t exactly cheap.
