superglue is used often. if it is a new tip that keeps popping off, the repairer didn't do it right. new tips absorb the glue, especially if it's superglue, so the bottom of the tip has to be sealed first, before glueing it onto the ferrule.
 
My experience is just the opposite !!!
The back of the tip needs to be properly prep'd (sanded) to remove the glaze.

A reputable cuemake once refused to put a phenolic tip on a cue I had unless I had him change the ferrule too because the tip was not likely to stay on with the type of ferrule it had.
 
A few people in this thread do not know what a phenolic tip is! They are typically a one piece tip and ferrule. Therefore, you are not glueing it to a ferrule at all but to the tenon. I am assuming you have the "sledgehammer" type that is a ferrule and tip combined. If so, that is why you need the right tenon to attach it. Get in touch with Mike Gulyassy. He will be able to help. Hope this helps.

CH, we are referring to the phenolic tip only.
Be it linen based or canvas based.
Mike's is a one-piece ferrule and tip which was originally seen on Eddie Prewitt's 747 yrs ago ( supposedly).phenolic tip
This one looks like it's linen-based.

I didn't think surnames had been invented yet in the 13th century, leave alone phenolic tips. :D

Oops, did I use a dangling modifier? :p
Cuemastermaker Eddie Prewitt made a jump cue called Eddie's 747, several years ago. It was banned by BCA b/c it had phenolic tips. :rolleyes:
 
What about using a fiber pad like you do with ivory ferrules? It seems like you would have a similar ferrule cracking problem with the harder phenolic tip and common ferrule, as you do with the more brittle ivory ferrule and normal tip. Would this not also help with the adhesive issue? Not familiar with the phenolic tips at all, just offering a suggestion and curious about the whole deal.

Joseph Cues, what company is the above link for if you don't mind me asking?

Thanks.
