Thanks for the info, I will install directly to the ferrule

Here's a quick question... Do you recommend installing a fibre pad with a phenolic tip? I plan to install a phenolic tip on an old shaft for breaking and I was wondering if i need the pad to protect the ferrule? The ferrule is not phenolic, just the tip...

Thanks I think that's a great deal and I plan to purchase a few things so the $50 shouldn't be a problem. Maybe buy a tip... That should cover the min. Lol

I am going to start practicing putting ferrules on. I was wondering which are most commonly used and for what reasons? Capped? Non-capped? Threaded? Ivorine vs fibre vs PVC. And such... Your input is greatly appreciated!!

Hello all.... I am looking to buy some of the fibre pads that go between the tip and the ferrule. Can someone help me out with a vendor or if anyone has any for sale. I'm not looking for a large qty, maybe like 25 or so... Thanks in advance

Id like to know what are some of the techniques people are using for burnishing the tip. Ive always just used some water and a piece of leather to burnish my tips. I've tried Porper's tip burnishing liquid but didnt like that it dyed the tip. The water seems to work fine, but I want to achieve...

Thanks for all the input!! I will take this all into consideration. I do have a second part to this question though.... If the glue side is embossed and you are suppose to sand the glue side to a flat even surface, does that mean i have to sand the bottom of the tip until the logo is no...

A quick question.... Tips all have a "glue side" usually embossed with its logo or name. My question is does it really make a difference to use this side? If you must sand and prep before gluing, doesnt that usually make it almost the same surface as the "tip" side?

I personally use Everest tips. At the local pool hall most players do not want to spend the money for an Everest, but they want to try a layered tip. Has anyone used/played with the Superpro layered tip. Any input is appreciated....

I think Buck Horn goes good with the right wood...here is my cue with buck horn ferrules and buttcap....what do you think? i know...i should have cleaned them up before i post....lol

ive always had 13.75 on my jump/break cue. ive tried smaller, the cue ball tends to "squirt" when jumping

ive seen the gorrilla glue and there were a couple types. ive read about "gorrilla white" is that the glue that says it dries white? or in the white bottle?

yea its a lot of work but i think that will make me appreciate the work more

I am going to start re-tipping my own cues for my own interest. I will probably keep my main shooting shaft tip professionally installed until i feel comfortable on my installation, not wanting the tip to fly off...which Ive seen many times. I plan to also re-tip players at the local pool hall...
