Superglue vs epoxy for ferrule install?

Thanks. Do you use the 5 or 30 minute version?
Devcon 2 Ton epoxy is the slower version. Devcon 5 Minute is what I use for ferrules. You are less likely to get the glue stain ring under the ferrule with the 5 minute.
I know this is an old post, but this is absolutely correct. In general, we choose adhesives based on functional requirements, substrates, surface conditions, and needs of manufacturing.
Using cyano is great for speed, but I don't think that's a requirement. It's brittle nature and lower shear strength makes it a not-ideal candidate. You can get rubberized cyano, but why bother when there are other, off-the shelf solutions?
Cyano works great on tips because it's not a shear load application unless someone drops the cue. Tips pop off in that case because of the high shear condition, and not necessarily because of a bad tip job.

If the ferrule is seated properly to the shaft, the shaft should absorb all the pressure. Vibration could crack a hard setting glue.. OB Cues recommends Gorilla Glue. You can get 100 replies from 100 people and they could all be correct and all use a different glue.. Stay with a good name brand and use there glue for your application and you should be fine.
Getting a good fit, seems to be the most important. I used a tennon threader on the 20 or so first ferrules I installed and the threads don`t come out perfect. Now I live tool the threads and the quality of the treads are close to perfect. The ferrule threads on the tennon just perfect. I used Gorillaglue on the last job, holds up good.
Hi, everybody.
I want to change my first ferrule for a player cue. Is this epoxy OK for a ferrule job?

Here in Europe we don't have many options you presented in this thread.
Thank you.

Thank you for reply.
I see in field of application that wood is not listed, but it should be OK as it is an universal epoxy.
I've been getting great results with a quick-setting epoxy called JB Weld ClearWeld available at Wal Mart.
This stuff is NOT the same steel-reinforced JB Weld you use for muffler repairs,etc,but is made by same company.
It has a tensile strength of 4400 PSI,and when mixed 100% dries hard enough you can chip it with a chisel. Tommy D.
