Ferrule that is most chalk repelent
- Thread starter CGM
- Start date
Juma and Mason Micarta.
I beg to differ.
Snooker-style, thin-walled brass or Titanium ferrule.
Also a good sealing with Renaissance Wax helps (2x).
And then - have a proper chalking technique which is "like applying a thin layer of lipstick". Not smashing and shoveling heaps of chalk onto your tip.
Cheerio!

I have a Juma ferrule and it's always dirty. I'll have to give Micarta a try next time.
Renaissance Wax is not a sealer.
I like Magic Chalk, green is my personal preference.
You asked for a Highly chalk resistant ferrule, Mason Micarta.
better than LBM.

Ivory................
I have found ivory ferrules to be the most chalk resistant
IVORY.......and it has the best acoustics and appearance & is impervious to chalk.
I could take photos of my cues shafts & there aren’t any signs whatsoever of chalk
Ask any cue-maker and it will be confirmed and the durability of ivory is really good.
However, if you want to use it as the ferrule material for breaking hard, over time, it
might be prone to cracking but if that’s your intention, learn to live with chalk buildup.

My experience is the same.
A blue ferrule is the hardest to see the chalk on..............
You could stop hunting for a magic ferrule....and just chalk a little better

Ivory is best, and Juma is pretty resistant. Chalking correctly is the key!
Get rid of the chalk that makes everything blue. Try Taom light blue chalk. I did and I'll never go back to regular chalk. Everything stays clean.
No doubt. Just wipe with fingers and voila, clean.
