butt & joint material

[d_flash]

i'm looking for some off-white/cream/ivory colored rod or tube similar to the stuff Meucci uses (in color and composition, i'm trying to repair a broken joint collar and a butt ring on an old Meucci).........thanks Flash

Meucci was famous for using ABS. I would check Atlas.

I talked with a salesperson with Piedmont Plastics and he volunteered that Meucci bought cream colored and black from them in large qty.,,,he thought it was pvc, though ?

Does anyone know if they did any finger splices simular to the one Sheldon showed, that had been ran over by the car? I have only been below the wrap on the originals so far Myself, and have not run accross them in cues that far back yet. Wondering if any built since them had the finger splices?

For the poster of the thread I have included a picture of what the multi-polymer Ivory rod Atlas has looks like unfinished, also known as MP Ivory to compare with. gives some idea of what It looks like anyway. This is not the same material that I know of, and don't have any pictures of ABS on hand. I don't know what the new ivory material they use in there PP models is. Maybe someone here could identify it with a picture of what you need to match.
