Well, a detail that no one has mentioned is this: Because the whole cue is tapered, once you cut it into 2 pieces, the diameters of the front and back (or top and bottom if you prefer) will no longer mate up. Inserting a collar, or collars, kind of defeats the whole "Sneaky Pete" concept of...

I've been using Clean Armor for a couple of months. It may seem expensive, but it only takes an ounce or two to finish an entire cue. In my experience, it brushes on thinner and smoother than SolarEZ and flows out better, hence there is less sanding. I have been using SolarEZ for over 5 years...

Well, not what you wanted to hear, but not many cases (if any) are going to accomodate a 34 inch shaft

I used to be not afraid of a pin change. But I did one on a cue that turned out to be plastic for the first 2-3 inches behind the joint. Melted the front end of the cue and had to rebuild that with Tomahawk before finishing out the pin change. So I'm more careful and observant now. My 2 cents

John, I sent you a PM with a link to some mica powders. (Sent PM since I have been known to harp on people about sharing sources here.) Gary

The motors from Penn State are very popular. Gary

Bob, I sent you a DM. Thanks Gary

Hi Bob, I'd like to buy 2 feet of the Hydex you offered. Thanks Gary Brown

I'm always interested in a better adhesive for CF in particular. It looks like you have to buy an application tip/device which appears to waste as much leftover product as we would use for a ferrule/vault plate or collar installation. Is that the case? Thanks for any information, Gary

I would suggest black CA. You can apply it much thinner than you can epoxy - well, at least I can. Gary

A couple of thoughts. First, the largest coil on that model is 30mm / 1,18" which is a little small for most butt caps. Second, induction heaters work very quickly, so don't leave it on for very long.

" wrapping, refinishing, pins, ferrule, collars" basic knowledge perhaps, but it takes years to learn. As suggested, get Chris Hightower's book and read it through. Also, you can use the search function here to learn from past posts. Good luck Gary

Hmmm . . . guess I wasn't thinking when I wrote that. Here are some others that run 2.3oz (2")- 3.8 oz (12")...

I don't know where you are searching, but they are readily available. This one is adjustable, which will be heavier that than a fixed length and it's 7 oz.

It would be similar to a mid-cue extension which many find useful.

John, Mine was delivered today. THANKS!! Gary

Here's a really good video about how torrefied/roasted/kielwood maple wood is produced from a major "wood baker". It's very informative. Gary

Sheldon, yeah, AFTER I hit it with a drill bit or boring bar - ugh!!

Mike, I came across this and couldn't resist!! Hope you and your family have a wonderful Thanksgiving And THANKS for all your contributions here Gary

Bishop, Ssonerai, No offense taken. But you mistake my argument. My statement had to do with the self-integrity of honoring a pledge/promise that people have made and then deciding to renege on it. Quality cue wood is NOT readily available - sub-quality, yes, but not good stuff. My sources...
