I had a customer order a Sniper Tip and I got the tip in today. On one side it is black and the other side is white - does anybody know which side you apply the glue to or does it matter (Moori has one side a glue side). Thanks to anyone who knows the answer.

The first time I had to do a sniper, I did a google search with "sniper glue side" and then selected the first link. It's a Tiger Products Faq that says:

How do I install one of your laminated cue tips?

We strongly recommend you have a professional cuesmith install your laminated cue tip. If you choose to do so yourself, roughen the back (glue side, it is stamped with an embossed initial or black if a Sniper) side of the cue tip with sandpaper, apply a drop of Insta-Cure+® (or other CA type glue) to the sanded side and rub the tip (glue side) on the sanded and cleaned ferrule to spread the glue, center the tip on the ferrule and let it set for 15 seconds. Moisten the sides of the tip and trim to fit with a single edge blade (be careful!!!). Then shape the tip to your preference and your tip is ready to be played with. Enjoy!
