Great to hear you are on the mend Mike. Your friends in Canada are rooting for you.

You may find it interesting that Dufferin was one of the companies approached by Predator to make their low deflection shaft. They of course decided not to make them and the rest is history.

What about colouring some epoxy and tape off the area and add it. Would be fairly easy.

I'm in Cambridge and could maybe help you out.

Bees wax will sometimes help.

Sanding after installation smooths it out.

Ferrules arrived. Thanks

I need another 20 ferrules. Please let me know what shipping will be and I will paypal you. Roy Mason 137 Elgin St N Cambridge, Ontario Canada N1R 5H6

It is 100% caulking with a worn piece of chalk. As a cue repair guy I see this on 10 to 20% of the cues that come in for new tips. I educate the owner and it doesn't happen again.

Its caused by using well used pieces of chalk and screwing the chalk into the ferrule. The top edge of the abrasive chalk sands the ferrule until it has a groove in it.

I have not to my knowledge intentionally blocked a number. I just checked my phone and I have 0 blocked numbers on it. Dont know what happened but try again or email me at masonr@golden.net.

I have lots of the birdseye, curly and rosewood blanks. I have a few of the falcon floating points ( the last picture).

As i recall there should be a screw that connects both pieces. If it is really loose you may be able to turn it apart.

I respectfully disagree. The main reason that tip wear down is from chalking. Chalk is an abrasive. It is like rubbing sandpaper over your tip every time you chalk.
