It has come to my attention that some cuemakers and repair persons use CA glue to seal the edges of the tip. I'm assuming this glue needs to have some decent flexibility for it not to crack. What specific glue do you use?

Revos are a little rough for my taste, I can feel a drag. I play with a glove and I'm wondering at what grit sandpaper can I wet sand in order to make a shaft feel the slickest. I feel the absolute best is somewhere between 1500, 2000 or 2500. Correct me if I'm wrong.

I want to build a pool table light based on the "perimeter" model that Predator made famous - with their "Arena" light. I am considering using 6 times 4' shop LED of 24W, 5000k and 2200 lumens. For a whopping total of 13 200 lumens. (I think I saw somewhere on the website of the Perimeter (not...

I just got a Revo shaft that has a few white marks on it. I don't feel them, but they are there. I'm pretty sure they were caused by the previous owner banging on the cueball to replace it on the table when doing drills, exercices. Is this common? Tried alcohol, acetone, wet Magic Eraser...

I know about poolbilliards.co and chalkysticks.com, but I was wondering if there was anything new or even better under the sun? Thanks!

Can anyone weight the 2 different balls and tell me the results for both of them ? Thanks !

I bought shaft collets from Atlas. My lathe is a drill and at the end a movable pillow bearing. I inserted the shaft in the collet, and then into the pillow bearing. Everything seemed ok tight, the screws were not tightened. And there was a mark all aroung the shaft at the end... What did I do...

Any products you use for burnishing the sides of the layered tip and keeping it that way a "long time" ? I have a "lathe". Tiger tip burnisher - It does nothing more than spit to me Gum trag - Doesn't seem to last much Tokonole - never tried but it's a well know burnisher with natural waxes in...

Hey everyone! I have a 4 inch. extension on my cue, but it gets kinda slippery when I get nervous What's an easy finish I can put on it to get a wrapless but "tacky" feel? Lacquer? Floor poly? Epoxy? I don't think I'd like any noticeable diameter to be added up to my cue extension actual...

Hi all! I'm looking for the best shaft conditioner there is. I want this thing to slide like never before. I take good care of my equipment and I seal my shafts. I've tried Renaissance also. I've toyed around with cuesilk or equivalent (hello, biosilk!) and it eventually gunks up. Sooooo...

I just got a Mezz cue with a WX700 shaft. I used to have a shaft with a 5/16 X 14 joint. My homemade lathe that uses a drill and some Lego pieces and a very precious 5/16 X 14 pin was all I needed to do some maintenance on my shaft. I don't have a Mezz wavy joint pin to put in my drill. Can I...

Hi people of the forums, I just started playing pool again after almost a decade of "I have other important stuff to achieve in my life". I have a Pred 314-2 shaft (that I like) and my backup, an OB-1 first gen, is crooked and plays awful (and I never really liked anyway). Since I can't seem...

Hi guys! I've lost my 5/16 14 pin which I use with a simple drill to clean my shaft. The poor man's lathe. So yeah. Where could I buy that?

Although a lot of brand new shafts feel sticky because of the sealer the makers applied on them, some sealed shafts just feel soooo slick. I'm thinking of Lucasi or even Players, they feel real slick. What kind of sealer should I use to protect my shaft + keep it smooth and slick? P.S.: I know...

Just came back from Buffalo... What a dead city! Just couldn't believe my eyes how few people were there. I asked somepeople if there was a poolhall in this city. Negative answers all over. Did I miss a nice pool spot? Any of you from there?

What can be used and reused in spite of 2000 grit sandpaper? How about this: looks a lot like Q-Wiz... Lapping film Microfinishing film Wetordry polishing papers Flexible Diamond Discs Polishing cloth? What kind? (10 Microns and lower or 1800 grit and higher) <------ tired of sandpapers...

Good easy alternative to finish a cue? I've tried carnauba wax (3 coats) seems to be a good solution: cheap, short to do. Any other input?

If anyone still have the word or PDF document, I'd be very very VERY interested! :D

OK! I've just made a research and I've read almost everything concerning shaft sealers and conditionners. In humid conditions, what would you advise to use on the shafts? I tried it all, carnuba wax, sanding sealer, pledge furniture polish, teflon powder spray. The best I've used: slipstic...

I just want to know the shot :confused:
