Regarding the wrap, you could have it rewrapped and not pressed. Many things may be possible for the weight, some more involved than others. It would depend on the existing hardware.

To me, it seems logical that sealing a shaft will seal moisture in as well as out. I'm with the school of thought of letting it move as much as it will in between cuts. IMO it is not worth handling the harsh chemicals for what I see as little gain. I also don't believe you need more than a week...

Be prepared for a long and expensive hobby. Yes, it can also be rewarding, as is anything that will occasionally give you that "job well done" feeling. There used to be a poster here (he's probably still around, I just forgot who it was) that had in his signature line: "I build cues because I...

You may know something I don't but carbon fiber has a fairly thin wall thickness already. Even taking .004" could prove to be "fatal". This is a $500.00 shaft. The best option here is to simply live with a .004" (.008" diametrically) rise in the joint from butt to shaft. Once you get it out of...

I second that.

Yes. This. It can also grab and twist the way any drill bit does when it breaches the other side.

Expect it to be extremely tight. Wax the pin, and work it in and out. Designed to compress threads in shaft wood to fit tighter and last longer. 2 taps are out there now, one for plastic recently came out.

Do not measure by weight. Measure by volume. If the density isn't exactly the same, your mix will always be off. Removal? Good question. I wish I had a good answer.

I guess I stand corrected. Won't be the first time. Or last...

That knowledge will require somebody buying a $500.00 Revo shaft and donating it for dissection. Not many here willing to pony that up.

Are they even really leather? Up close they look like some kind of fibrous material.

I haven't seen this mentioned but you will want to drill/bore about an inch deep in the backside. Otherwise, as the gun drill comes through the other side, it may catch, grab, and can wreak havoc.

Hurlbert definitely finishes out nicest but available colors are limited.

This. If you mess up a Revo, you mess up a $500.00 shaft. Be prepared.

I thought so too...

Did I accuse you of being a racist? My comment basically stated that whoever it was that called the mods racist is more likely one himself. If that was you calling the mods racist, then yes. I called you a racist. If it wasn't you making that ridiculous claim, then no. I did not call you a racist.

I have seen all 3 of those topics covered in NPR.

LOL. Thank you for supporting my point. Somebody has their undies in a bunch. So how do you feel about CTE aiming? :D

So much ado about nothing. Threads don't need to be opened. People can be ignored. I have seen many a thread either get shut down or moved to NPR from other places. No big deal. "No politics anywhere else" has, for the most part, been enforced. Calling the mods here "racist"? As for that, as...

There used to be more off topic posts than there are now, inquiries about different subjects, more politics now than ever before as our country becomes more and more polarized. But the fact remains, then, now, and always - you aren't required to look.
