You guys tried Ultraskin Black Soft or Very Soft?

I’ll look up the durometer. I do cue repairs for local club I go to so good to know. 26 is a pretty good run Texas! Agree with your points.

I play mostly straight rail and using a soft tip. I realized that tip hardness can vary from brands. I have a guy who is pretty good at 3C and I put on a few medium tips on and he now prefer a soft for 3C. These are Kamui Black Clear. I guess you hit them long enough they will become hard...

I had the big porper and got rid of it. Did a better job without it. Never used the Willard but can’t be worse than the porper. Just my opinion.

Triangle would be an easy and cheap install. I’ll put one on my cue and try it out for straight rail.

Greetings, Just curious what is the preferred tips and hardness for straight rail and 3C. I installed tips at a local carom club and supply their cue needs. Most of them don’t have any clue on what tips to use when I ask them. They tell me put a good tip on. I have a few that request Kamui...

Great idea!

Good to know. I guess I won’t be too picky on buying old batches. Thanks guys!

Hello everyone, What are your thoughts or principles on old tips as far as integrity goes. Do they deteriorate after x amount of years or get better like fine wine? This includes single layered tips like Triangle’s and layered tips. I’m talking about tips that is not installed. Was looking...

I have a large bore midamerica. Not sure that’s accurate enough and do not have the live tooling threader. Would like to invest and learn how to use it though. Thanks for great advice.

I would say the job repeats 1-2 times a year. That’s why I’m not sure investing in time and effort is worth it. Buying a new shaft for 129 vs paying for a repair.

Thank everyone for your input. How much would you charge for a repair like this?

Hello everyone, I’ve attached an example pic of a wooden thread pin that’s broken. I get a few of those for repair every so often but I always suggest they buy a new shaft for about 125.00 online. Is this worth the trouble repairing vs buying a new shaft. 90% of the guys that plays carom...

I’ll give DAP a try. Thanks guys.

Lol. That’s Gorilla glue!

Greetings, You guys noticed any difference between the besides price? They both are gel but is advertised as Ultra and more durable. Have anyone experienced any differences between the two? Thanks!

Thanks for the tip. I’ve reach out to Ron and he’s gonna make me one.

I have a creation that I may sell. I’ve learn a lot from it and it served me well. I was in the same boat when I first started out. Wanted to do my own tips and started to brainstorm. I’ve since upgraded to real lathe. SSDIVER design is great. I like his design. Mine is similar but not as...

Got it. Thanks.
