Glue not working on cue.

[Piercyexclusive]

I have a repeat customer that I've done several tips for in the past. He seems to always be popping the tips off his Mezz cue. I've tried Gorilla Super Glue and Gorilla Quick Cure Glue. What should I try next?

I've noticed some ferrules just don't take glue very well. Like Cuetecs, I have a hard time keeping tips on those. Anyone else experienced this?

I'm using a Cue Smith Lathe. So, I'm not putting unreasonable side pressure on the tip during trimming.

I use rugby and superglue

I only seal the bottom of the tip with CA for the softer ferrules. I compress all of my non-layered tips. I don't ever compress a layered tip.

Just another thought

A customer brought his cue and tip for a install and he insisted on using his
own glue. This was a epoxy glue which was ultra quick, almost like CA and it
seemed to held the tip very well. I did all the preps mentioned here, face,sand
with 150-250, cut a cross in the tip etc. However I did apply the ultra quick
epoxy on both surfaces with a thin coat - had both surfaces rest until it got a
little thick and pressed it with my thumb.
Just another thing you could test out.
In the old days it was always epoxy but then you had the shaft clamped over night.
With this new stuff the epoxy is almost as quick as the CA..
