I would suggest black CA. You can apply it much thinner than you can epoxy - well, at least I can. Gary

A couple of thoughts. First, the largest coil on that model is 30mm / 1,18" which is a little small for most butt caps. Second, induction heaters work very quickly, so don't leave it on for very long.

" wrapping, refinishing, pins, ferrule, collars" basic knowledge perhaps, but it takes years to learn. As suggested, get Chris Hightower's book and read it through. Also, you can use the search function here to learn from past posts. Good luck Gary

Hmmm . . . guess I wasn't thinking when I wrote that. Here are some others that run 2.3oz (2")- 3.8 oz (12")...

I don't know where you are searching, but they are readily available. This one is adjustable, which will be heavier that than a fixed length and it's 7 oz.

It would be similar to a mid-cue extension which many find useful.

John, Mine was delivered today. THANKS!! Gary

Here's a really good video about how torrefied/roasted/kielwood maple wood is produced from a major "wood baker". It's very informative. Gary

I would like 2 feet when available. Thanks Gary

Guys, I sent him a DM. I am within 10 miles of him. I'll take care of his cue for free - gotta pay back our vets. Also, I can point him to several pool halls in our area. In addition, to APA, VNEA/BCA, and NAPA are regularly played here. Gary
