    Best Epoxy

    PSI is the strength of the epoxy and is given by the manufacturer. I only use epoxy on tips like the Samsara break tip. DP420 is recommended by Samsara.

    Best Epoxy

    3M DP420 at 4500 psi will be best, but something like Permatex 30 minute at 3500 psi is much cheaper and may also be sufficient. There are also several epoxies made for golf club shafting.

    Old school custom vs new

    Would it be safe to conclude that the best non-cored cues are just as good as the best with cores and bolts in terms of quality and playability?

    Old school custom vs new

    I certainly didn't. To clarify...Does selecting various pieces of wood to achieve a specific weight and balance have an advantage or disadvantage over using dowels and weight bolts? Does using a dowel and bolts into a core have a homogenizing effect on the playing characteristics? Do you risk...

    Old school custom vs new

    Are there any advantages to building a cue butt by weighing and selecting various types of wood to achieve a specific weight and balance as opposed to coring and assembling cored pieces on a dowel?

    I just put a 3/16 or 5/32 steel bit in the vise jaws and squeeze the soaked tips to that size. Very consistent! I also use 15mm triangles in whole milk.

    Any cue with other than 5/16x18, 5/16x14, or 3/8x10 pin. Hate those odd pin sizes.

    joint pin question

    Are there joint protectors made for modified 3/8 x 10? Will they fit all 3/8 x 10 pins?

    joint pin question

    I have 2 cues with 3/8 x 10 pins. One is a standard McDermott and one has an aluminum pin. Shafts are interchangeable but the female joint protectors are not. They fit fine on the McDermott but are very, very tight on the aluminum pin.I also have a Sugartree shaft that fits both. Any thoughts???
