Purchased some double black phenolic rod a few months back from a very popular supplier and am having a problem with it.

I sand down to get rid of the pin holes but new ones appear.
I fill them in with sanding sealer but every time I sand new ones will appear and fill with a white dust that is all but impossible for me to get out.
Thinking I bought some unsuitable material.
In the joint photo is a smaller black ring of different type of double black phenolic that does not have this problem.

The photos show where I sanded down the finish, tried to get as much out of the pinholes as I could and lightly sprayed to see if they would go away.
Obviously, I failed ... again.

Can anyone suggest a solution to get a jet black appearance other than cutting them off?

You can bet the remaining stock of this stuff will be used for something other than pool cue rings and butt caps.

Those look more like Black Canvas phenolic, not the linen phenolic....and in my experience, they will never match each other
