I have never used epoxy or dye on a cue. However on one of cueman's instructional tapes... he used epoxy and dye on a 4 point recut forearm and i thought it was pretty sharp. On my staggered 8 point, the long points come out very thin and shallow at the tip. Although i never have issues, i...

Well that was a good idea to google it. I found this site. They seem to be a little loose with water thinning tite bond. Appearantly that's the soluable for it. http://www.jamestowndistributors.com/userportal/document.do?docId=231&title=Titebond+Woodworking+Glue+Tips

Thanx... i will try that.

Can powedered dye or others be mixed into wood glues in the same way they are used in epoxy's? Let's say like black dye for glueing ebony points in.

Is the weight of EIR comparable to maple or more like ph?

Im new to coring. Why is it necessary to core a maple forearm with a maple dowel?

My bad! I somehow skipped over KJ's post. Back to building all 3 billets.

May i ask what you use to slot with zx24? Im murder on bits trying to go deep enough for all three. thanx

I chalk with the cue at least 45 degree angle so the chalk doesnt run straight down the shaft getting it filthy so quick and just use 3m 1500 when it does. After drinking one pop, my hands get so gummy that my cue must think im sniffin glue or something. I have to stick with bottled water in...

I am curious as well. Cue woods are so hard that i allways burn the cut and dull bits easier on climbing cuts with a router. Probably not an issue with your milling machine. I do like the climbing finish idea though. But i allways liked decending cuts because they seem to help me make up my mind...

I dont think it was designed as a penatrant or a lubricant. Although it will work for those things in a pinch. As the story goes... the WD stands for water displacement and it was the inventors 40th try. So it will keep rust off of things temporarily. Long ago, it was the only product i knew of...

May i ask where you found the scale your useing for the cross feed? thanx

Some guy approached me a number of years back and asked if i would assist in helping him build a cue on my equiptment. Well, after the obvious F..NO!!!!. the guy ordered a porper that had some problems and was returned for repairs. After wrestelling with this for about 4 mos he finally started...

Sorry about the confusion guys! I had to leave after my post. What is a soluable or solvant do i mean? Let me put it this way... what do you use to clean up after super glue. I would just cut it off of a cue. Im talking about getting it off your hands, clothes or tools etc. Some how, no one...

Is there a product specific solution for this stuff..... short of cutting it off or sand paper? thanx bob

Wow! are you certain that's a veneer? Looks like a recut.

Are you sitting down? 1.295... 1.030 ... .865 My shaft taper sounds like Jer's except 13mm. Im used to a really powerful cue but i think i could be stuck in a different time warp. Untill the early 90's, most everyone locally was breaking with their shooting cue. At that time, the big coin op...

Your research is accurate. I am a humble wannabee. And my post should have been to the point. After looking at the post again i understand what your saying. Im embarassed to say, that is plain english where i hang out. Obviously im having trouble when i cut away too much backbone from my cue and...

The butt diameter thread seemed to fizzle into a FEEL GOOD discussion. So i was curious at what point diameters turn into a power concern? Some of the builders are excellent players as well, and understand that it's difficult to push a 2 1/4'' ball around with a pencil. With so many combinations...

League players around here like no thicker than 1.250 for use with the regulation cue ball. However coin op tables that have the big cannon ball or the weighted ball or the magnetic cue ball, (if you wanna call that pool) ideally need heavier artillery (1.300). That's why some full splice.. one...
