This is not true. I have used nothing but layered tips (many different brands) for many years and texture them with a tip pik every day - with no delamination or any other kind of problem.... tip picks ... if used on a layered tip it will de-laminate

I tap firmly as I turn the cue - maybe 20 taps to texture the entire tip surface, concentrating especially nearer the edges.Sean:...I have used nothing but layered tips (many different brands) for many years and texture them with a tip pik every day - with no delamination or any other kind of problem.

I agree. A gentle picking (tapping, not grinding or twisting) from a Tip-Pik should not cause delamination.
I guess so, but I can't imagine why anybody would want to abuse the tip like that. It would tear up a one-piece tip too....if you grind or twist with the Tip-Pik ... you take a chance of the Tip-Pik's needles grabbing the edge of a layer and pulling it up.

Nerdy factoid: they're re-purposed phonograph needles.... Tip-Pik ... needles are conical-shaped and packed together firmly.
