Polishing a canvas ferrule....?
- Thread starter Tooler
- Start date
I lightly sand ferrules with 600 paper and the put on a dab of Plastx... and squeeze it with a paper towel.... shines right up.
Plastx is head light polish.... by Meguiars...

Clean it with denatured alcohol and Magic Eraser.
Let it dry.
Coat with thin CA. A few coats with 600 grit sanding in between coats.
3 coats at least .
Then polish.

Love those magic erasers... Renaissance wax sealer polish works great after..
This is what I originally planed, but was afraid to try..... just haven't had much luck with the glue.... probably cause I'm not sanding between coats is my guess. :embarrassed2:
Thanks for all the info, fellas.
I lightly sand with 800. Then burnish with a paper towel (very carefully). Then apply Hightower's shaft sealer. Then cue wax. BTW, the shaft sealer does a great job on the edge of the tip.
I do like the idea of using Meguiars though. I'm gonna give it a try...

I see a lot of the canvas ferrules where the "threads" are showing through. Friend of mine has a nice Schon with this problem. She swears it's the original ferrule. You guys know of any way to handle this short of replacing the ferrule? It's butt ugly and polishing doesn't help much.
If the ferrule is one of their new ones, Ivorine-4, then the problem needs to be fixed before it gets played with. Those ferrules when unsealed collect dirt so damn quick. You can replace the ferrule and start over, but if it's dirty now, it'll always be dirty.
On the black ferrules I've installed,I've used the CA for a sealer after cleaning with a fresh Magic Eraser and denatured alcohol and had great results.
I also started with the double-black linen material to begin with.
Since someone mentioned the Schon shafts with Ivorine-4,I've ran into 3 of them that had black streaks in them that were tough as hell to get out without sanding the shit out of it. I managed to get them presentable,but not perfect.
The weird thing was 2 of those shafts were pretty close to new. Tommy D.

Holy shiznizzle, did anyone see that glue line?I use Meguiars # 2 # 4 # 7 # 9
I've never seen the "filler" come up from Ivorine 4. It is not a linen or canvas filler.
What are you talking about?
