    Gluing Delrin

    Delrin, or acetal, is basically a self lubricating polymer.... which means most common adhesives will not bond for long, if at all...which is why cuemakers/repair guys use it for jigs, clamps, etc as it can do it's job, then be removed without issue. Cutting channels and such can be a way of...

    Kamui Medium Hardness

    So, basically, Kamui browns are more for people that tend to play more force follow, or mid to high english, where as the black have more elasticity for those that play a lot of more bottom shots to get position. That was from their flyers when I became an authorized installer. Now as to the...

    Cue refinish question, repairing dents in forearm

    On something like this, it is a tricky process. Have done it, but is not my favorite thing to do. Nowadays, if it ain't a cue I made, I do not refinish it. https://proficientbilliards.com is the place to go, not cheap....but damn good!

    Xzero mini raptor

    That has to be the world record of the longest, non understandable sentence ever written. BTW the source of my comments were from, 6-8 yrs ago.....were from comments on YOUR original Facebook page that you had from YOUR customers, and now it seems you have either purged the comments or have a...

    Is there any interest in full splice jig?

    If you get off your 'offended' high horse for a minute...re-read the first sentence in my post, "All one has to do is actually google resawing" If you do that.....just....resawing, NOT 'resawing quality' the results are different, and give more descriptive info to everyones question. Wasn't...

    Is there any interest in full splice jig?

    He gave 'bad advice' or did he give advice to people that did not have the basic knowledge to understand the actual advice? I've been here for 19 yrs, and Joey has been spot on the whole time.......I have NEVER seen anything he wrote to be bad advice. He has joked around at times, (usually april...

    Linseed oil and super glue

    I kinda disagree, as this is a specific section, and One should be able to trust the overall answers to an extent....I have had some old time cuemakers give me bad advice early on....due to the whole secrets deal thing.... and cost me money I couldn't afford at the time. Ask the Cue maker is...

    Linseed oil and super glue

    The issue is, look back at the first 4 posts after the original post....NON-cuemakers answering a question with no background evidently, basically calling the practice of using Linseed oil with CA.....without using the word...stupid....But it is actually a great way to do CA finish. Re-read the...

    Mahogany in cue construction

    I know Viking used mahogany back in the late 80-early 90s in some cues. Had to repair some after the forearms snapped just under the joint collars. I replaced the forearms with cored mahogany and they looked original afterwards.
