Can anyone identify this ferrule material?
- Thread starter fish2
- Start date
could be an epoxy or acrylic is my guess.
100% an epoxy resin cast. And a great looking color combo as well.
Liberace would be proud
Would epoxy resin be strong enough for a ferrule?
I could not say with 100% certainty, however most balls are an epoxy core now days so I would think for a cue other then a break cue it would work, with that said though, there are a lot of variables when it comes to casting epoxy , from the mix, to the "manufacturer". to the curing time and the mica used for color.
I am not sure if I would want it for a Main high end cue to daily play, but would for sure look to use it for unique inlays

Balls are not an epoxy core, they are solid phenolic. Epoxies are a phenol.
The ferrule could just as easily be polyester or urethane. Urethane is a very durable material.
I doubt epoxy would stand up as a ferrule. I once used an old cueball as ferrule material. It didn't last.
acrylic , one more vote

Back in the 90's, CB ferrules were once (still?) a very popular ferrule material in the Philippines . It was capped like an Ivory ferrule. It was one of the strongest ferrules available at that time
Not just there. They were done here also.
Needs the glitter though to really make him proud.
Still want to shoot
