Should there be glue on my ferrule

[macguy]

The local tip replacer here has a tendency to get glue on the sides of my ferrule. He invariably wants to sand the sides and make it look nice and clean because, as he states, he is a perfectionist. I always have to ask him, politely, not to sand the ferrule. I don't want diameter loss over time to change the way my cue plays, and I'd rather have an ugly ferrule than have that happen. Truth be told, I'd rather have both, and every once in a while I will let him sand it clean.

The question is, should he not be letting the glue get on the side of my ferrule in the first place? I'm not even talking about right at the tip. There will be glue 1/4" or more down from the tip.

LOL, make the best of it.

I like the teflon idea and have since used cellophane tape, better idea.

The problem I had with blue tape was it appeared to wick the glue along the edge, this IMO made the lock-tight SG gel harden almost instantly. cello or teflon won't wick the CA.

I like the teflon tape idea, I am going to try it. Masking is the nuts though much better then trying to clean glue off the ferrule.
