I had a Custom Cue maker make me some of their joint protectors for two shafts and one butt. Also put one of their collars on a predator shaft. Anyways they came back and the edges look chipped like they didnt finish the job. I had to send all the stuff back the first time because the width of the silver ring was off and I hope they would see there mistake. They did correct the the ring problem, but not the ruff edges. I decide it not worth it to send them back and thought I could do it myself. Any suggestions on what to use. I tried 600 grit sandpaper but no progress was made. Mitch

I agree with Bryan ... you need to post a photo.

If you dont know how or dont have the equipment to refinish them yourself then you are stuck with sending them out again.
If you are going to send them out it might as well be to the fella that made them.
Perhaps he will get the message that second class work ... even on joint protectors ... dont cut it.
 
i fit my finished and polished joints to the cue afterwards i always pre polish before installing then touch up if nessisary i use a finish size pretappered joint then sand and polish till mirror finish then glue on the cue
