thanks wise @ss, i did this and google seems to have brought me back to az biliards with various forums where people say i like milk duds yum... I WANT TO KNOW WHAT DEFINES THIS MILK DUD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Soak a brand v tip
.....in milk product w
..........for x amount of time,
...............then press it with pressure y
....................for z amount of time.
And that produces a "milk dud." The variables v, w, x, y, and z are what make one milk dud different from another. The most commonly used starting tip is an Elk Master.
The objective is to produce a relatively hard tip (harder than an Elk Master, anyway) that holds chalk well and grips the cue ball well.

A milk dud tip as far as I know is an Elk Master tip usually (those are the ones that look blueish because they are impregnated with chalk in the manufacturing process.) They take one of those tips soak it in milk for an amount of time, press it in a press afterwords, and when their dry they will stay tackier that a normal tip. Well that's about all I know about the process but hopefully someone that knows more will add to this or point out if I'm incorrect in something I said.

thanks, but, try reading, other people were already kind enough to answer.
No problem at all.

Breast is best.
Moori tips cost $15 or $20, right? They are good tips, and many people like them. I assure you that some $3 milk duds are good tips, and many people like them (some people even like them better than Moori tips). Different tips for different types.
Well I tried last night, 3 times, and none of the young ladies were willing to offer any up for science. Two of them slapped me and then said they weren't fat. The third said $20 a touch. I spent way too much and received no milk for my efforts. I don't think they were real.
I wonder though, soaking a leather tip in milk? That would stink after a day or two.
I prefer Pooldawg8's milk duds to Moori, for sure.
And you 5 for the price of one? :woot:

thanks for the input, was really wondering cause some guy who sold me a shaft threw in a free home made milk dud. thing looked pretty flat and odd looking, didn't really look worth paying someone to install. i see other folks talking about them so they must be decent, but I guess everyone makes them different. i'll stick with what i know for now.
Chocolate....
I used to make my own, and they worked pretty good. Elk Master tips are scrap, ground-up leather mixed with blue chalk and pressed into a tip...that's why they are so cheap. I soaked mine in half & half for around 3 days and then pressed with a homemade press for 4-5 days, tightening each day. The theory is that the lactic acid from milk products forms a "glue" as it drys that bonds the ground-up pieces of leather in a much stronger way, makes the tip harder, but the grain of the leather provides a softer hit. There's many formulas...whole milk, half & half, 2%, skim, buttermilk, tequila, scotch, beer, urine, etc...and also Triangle tips are sometimes used. I'd like to try virgin breast milk for my next batch, but is really hard to find, and I may have to use goat's milk if I can catch one.

The virgin goats are the ones you can't catch? Do I read you right?!!?
