I tried to order some of this MP ROD & was told that they will no longer stock this item. Does anyone have some, they will sell me or know where I can buy some?...JER

Jer. Call me at 720 206 4034 after 6pm and I will look in the shop. I think I have some left. Chris.
I apologize if you were given any mis-information. We still carry MPIvory... You can check it out on our website: https://www.cuestik.com/store/product.asp?DEPARTMENT_ID=102&ITEM_ID=5783
We don't carry "rods" of this material per say, though we do stock a .375" x 1.375" tube. I have plenty of this material in stock and ready to ship.

If you'll read my post again, you'll see that I need MP ROD not tubing. Thanks anyway...JER
Jerry...another option is to use the tube. I take a piece of ABS rod and turn down a small tenon to fill the hole making a capped mp ivory ferrule. A bit more time consuming but works great and you can control the cap thickness. Also take a look at the Elforyn...that ferrule material comes in a solid rod and is very similar to the mp...except for the price.

EXCEPT FOR THE PRICE!!!!!...JER

you think $22 for a one foot rod that gives you 10 ferrule (e.g.) is too high? That is 2,20 per ferrule ...

The MP rod was about .60-.70 per ferrule...JER

I am only responding to Varny's statement that the 2 materials are SIMILAR EXCEPT FOR THE PRICE. Nothing was mentioned about your product being too expensive. I ask about the MP ROD, because I have always used it in the 21 years I've been making Qs...JER

Hi,
no offense taken or meant..sorry. But I doubt that our Elforyn is similar to the MP material. Elforyn has a lot of grain structure (though it is availlable with and without the grain structure). The material without the structure is cheaper than $22 per rod of course. Give me you address (service@eurowest-cues.de) and I will send you some samples to proof.
Best regards,
Markus
Drill the cutoff piece. Ream it then thread it then put the shoulder?i210mfu said:
For a synthetic ferrule?
Elforyn has a lot of grain structure
That doesn't have anything to do with the material's composition though I think.

Joey; reread your post. It doesn't make sense to me. Must just be me. If you're trying to tell me how to make a capped ferrule, I can tell you that I've been making them, for 20 years. I just like the hit of this MP ROD & now they have stopped making it...JER
