A pool player should never pay to put a tip on. You should do it youself. Razor blade, sand paper, gel based glue, and patience is all that is required. Takes me about 10 minutes to put a tip on... Maybe I'll shoot an instructional video on how to R&R tips with minimal tools/skill

A $15 box of LePro's lasts me YEARS (I meany MANY years)
BTW - Retipping skills and cue making skills are greatly overrated, IMO. Most cuemakers think they are uniquely "gifted", when, in fact, wood working is a very basic human skill... Nowadays, most cue makers push buttons anyways and all their minions still think they are "Norm Abrams" lol
