Hey guys, I am getting started in repair work I have been doing tips and minor repairs by hand for years but I finally have a lathe to be able to really start messing cues up:thumbup:. So I got a bunch of dowles to cut down to install ferrules and tips on, I figure I will just get a box of lepro's for the tips, but not sure what type ferrule material would be cost effective since they are just getting used for practice on 4inch dowels. I found some really good deals on PVC rods, but I also have never herd of a pvc ferrule so not sure if that would be a good choice. Any advice would be much appreciated thanks.
