My main job involves quite a bit of travel and sometimes it is not practical to take my cue case with me on a plane. I was thinking of making myself a 3 piece cue, so I could just put it in my main suitcase. The joint only has to move forward about 2 inches to fix the problem. I guess the...

Put some Renaissance wax on the thread then screw it back in, then try again.

I 3D printed an adaptor plate so I can mount it on my quick change tool post. Rob.

Unfortunately they only carry the small tubes for surfboard repair. I even offered to become a distributor here but Solarez did not seem very interested. Rob.

Wish I could get it from Amazon in Australia. From Solarez its $280 freight for a quart! Rob.

Tip diameter in mm?

Thanks for the answers. I was able to get both ends out with heat, but was not a fun job! Rob

I have a cue that came to me today which has a stuck uniloc qr joint, and the owner cut the pin with a hacksaw and sent it to me. Usually I just heat up the pin to change thread, but this is a bit more difficult. I tried drilling then screwed in a screw extractor and heated it up and tried...

I always use epoxy with White Diamond, keeps em on! Rob.

Thanks Michael!

I am in Australia and have used Atlas in the past with good results. I just tried a small order of a dozen pins, and shipping was $127! In the past I contacted Eric Hirsh and he sorted it out. I have tried their online (non)customer service form twice and got no reply. Can anyone share an...

I would try cleaning the pin and if that didn't fix it, I would run the radial pin tap in to get rid of any accumulated gunk. Rob.

Thanks guys, appreciate the advice. I was quite happy for a first try! Rob.

Thanks Phil, that makes sense. I will give it a try. Rob.

I wanted to try to add some veneers to my points. I made a press arrangement and glued up the veneer stack using West system epoxy and this worked quite well. Next I cut the mitered edges. But, I am at a loss as to how to hold them in place so I can glue them together. Any guidance would be...
