Can anyone repair this??

So in the cue world, ebony and ebony wood are two different items?? That is sad.

That is sad, I guess you have to be careful that you're not just buying ebony the color

Well, I glued the chip back into place. The first photo is after glueing the chip back in. The second photo is after I cleaned it up with some 2000 grit paper, and the 3rd photo is the finished product. It doesn't look too bad but I would rather it disappear. Now I am thinking of dabbing a very small amount of clear epoxy around the edge of the chip to fill in the depression. Any thoughts???

Use medium super glue.

Put a drop of black dye in your epoxy, just a small build up, then spin it and take it down, buff it out. Brian.

I would suggest black CA. You can apply it much thinner than you can epoxy - well, at least I can.

I've taken a new black sharpie and tapped the tip all around the edge to blend it in. You might want to try that before the clear epoxy.

I have thought about doing this also. But I just ordered some epoxy dye and am going to give this a try.

Can you give me some tips on how to buff this. I don't have a lathe, but I do have a dremel with some hard cloth buffing pads. I think that I can get fairly precise with this. Would I use any type of compound??
