Denatured alcohol like all the other suggestions. And acetone starts doing its chemical thing instantly. No waiting. So 3 seconds is quite a long time to have acetone doing it’s thing to plastic.

Doesn’t matter how long the acetone was in contact with the plastic. It’ll cause problems instantly.

There’s the cheap option option of using a veneer sheet as a wrap, which doesn’t always look the best. Then there’s a total rebuild of the cue option to actually make it more solid. You already have a price in mind for what you want to spend, what is it?

This is what I have at home for golf clubs.

Joint collar and insert look too clean to be a Meucci. Need a close up of the ferrule to know what material it is, might be able to figure out who from there.

Is that the same as shafting beads used for golf clubs?

Thank you for that. If I took more time, maybe I could figure this out but not going to bother right now. I’m trying to member search and it’s not where I thought it was. Is Thomas Wayne still banned? I know Dennis Searing would have some good info to share too, but his visiting seems random. A...

It was a sarcastic question. If the glue bond to the ferrule from the tip was done correctly, look at how thick that glue bond really is. It’s less than .001 thick, and in many occasions it’s nearly unmeasurable. Now look at how much area the glue is bonded to. If the leather unglued to a shaft...

Reverse what my point would be saying. That’s how you sound when you started claiming fiber pads aren’t needed without any evidence. You’re easily triggered by an opposing view that you don’t want to believe is true. Here’s the kicker there is no printed proof to support your claim as their is...

That’s the problem, you think I’m exposing my opinion. I’m not. It’s not my opinion that leather tip expansion would cause the grain of the ivory ferrule to fail and split. That’s a fact I’m repeating. Any ferrule installed wrong has a chance to crack when hit. Any uncapped ferrule has a chance...

Read it quite clear. He thinks that just because we don’t use ivory ferrules anymore that fiber pads are not needed anymore. That’s not true in the slightest. And hopefully I clarified that the clear style pad Kamui introduced isn’t the same style of pad that the fiber pads are. So if Dave is...

Seems you misunderstand the point of fiber pads/pads in general. A leather tip has the chance to expand when hit(mushrooming) and it’s only the glue bond that prevents that bottom of the tip from expanding. Single layer tips have a chance to expand more than a layered tip. So when that expansion...

Wow. I cannot believe this. Your )( example is flawed as hell. At no point does the taper of the cue get smaller. It’s always increasing. It’s the rate of increase that you’re having issues with.

Like I said, this concept must be to advanced for you to grasp. This isn’t some abstract theory like you claim. A cone has a standard rate of increase. What happens when you vary that rate of increase? Up or down. You'll never get a smaller section of the butt. It never becomes smaller like you...

Parabolic means shape derived from a parabola. Terms and definitions seems to be lost around here.

Why can’t it be a smaller sound wave that has been altered? That was always my impression of the notion of parabolic taper was it was meant to jive with a sound wave.

You are vastly misunderstanding how curves work, and are massively misunderstanding how important calculus is to the understanding of this subject. Your perspective as to where the curve is, is the problem. And it’s not a hump. It’s the peak of the curve, and it’s relation to the start and end...

It seems to be a lot more complex than you give it credit for. I wish I could find the formulas to give you the correct frame of mind. A curve doesn’t have to be static. It can have multiple bend points. And the key word is point. In calculus you would have learned that no matter what, a curve...

Visually, our eyes are flawed. It leads to some very bad assumptions about what is actually in front of your. May I ask, at which level of mathematics are you proficient at?

All the Jackson cues that I’ve seen were 14 pitch.
