So to do a final follow up and close this out. I tried the transfer tape two more times with about the same results of not being strong enough. The thin 6mil foam tape I bought finally arrived. It was fairly strong but I couldn't trim the tip without twisting it off. The foam was such that you...

To follow up on this. I got a roll of 1" VHB transfer tape (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B007Y7CSAC) which is just the VHB "glue" without any foam or backing and is 2MIL thick. I clamped it to the tip for 8 hours, and clamped the tip on the cue for a few days using a rubber band clamp. After that...
