    Deposit for cue

    If the situation ever became a legal matter, I think what you may find would be that you are allowed to deduct any expenses you incurred, to resell the cue, from the deposit. Also, if the expenses were over and above the deposit the customer would be obligated to pay the additional expenses. On...

    Tip Question

    With the Hightower tip shaper, be sure the bit is sharp. When you're cutting the radius, do it slowly and a little at a time until you have a completed radius. The Sniper is a soft tip and just needs a little extra care. I personally use a sharp utility knife for triming and sharp utility...

    White Epoxy

    Hi Greg, I don't think Mike ment anything by it. Mike's a friend and a straight shooter. And many of us try to do the repairs correctly and avoid shotty work.. It always comes back to haunt you. Usually, the professional repair is less work than a shotty repair. Even when a customer trys to...

I've been pretty tough on it and it has held up with just a few minor repairs. It does exactly what Chris says it will do, plus it takes abuse. Right...
