I don't know why he is goobering on his cue. The time or 2 that I had to remove a ding I lightly sanded the area with 400 grit to open the pores then I warmed up my wife's tea pot until it was whistling then I hold the dinged section over the steam until the ding was gone. An hour later I lightly sanded with 600 grit then finished up with 1500 grit. Best part was that I didnt have to spit on my cue.

I do it the same way..works great..I use my wife's clothes steamer....
 
I use a curling iron to steam out the occasional ding. Works on compression dings. If any wood is notched out, then that’s another story(only happened to me once).
 
If you have a soldering iron, take a rag, wet it, fold it 2 or 3 times, put the hot iron tip in the rag and press against the ding. This is a little more precise than the above methods, though the above methods are fine if you don't have access to a soldering iron.
 
Same basic idea - I use a Q-tip to put a drop of water right on the spot. I wait for a while for it to get in and expand. Then I use a curling iron to steam it out and dry. if the grain raises rubbing the iron over it usually smooths it out.
 
i put the shaft in the oven... around 300 degrees and let bake for 10 minutes. turn it occasionally. most of the time i wait until im ready to bake a pizza. the moisture from the frozen pizza pops the dents right out.

Interesting video seriously ... thanks for posting.
 
Well the Burning Match, and Spit Method were found by accident on U-Tube, not sure how good it works.

But I have vision sad of house fire, and saying was ding removing to pool cue shaft to fire investigators. When they asked how did fire start?🔥

I've seen that done at a pro shop. Less fuss than what I do, which is wet paper towel and Bic lighter.

I’m the most helpless person ever to do things like this. I couldn’t swap out a tip if my life depended on it. But I can get dings out of shafts. It’s possibly the only thing other than cooking I can do with my hands. Ok one other thing……😂😂
 
The best method I've found is to wet a Q-tip and place it on the ding. Let it sit for 30 minutes or so and the ding will swell up enough to be completely flush with the surrounding wood. If it's a little high I'll buff it with my Q-Wiz until it's flush.

Hot, Warm, or Cool water?

I just use a steam iron with paper towels. Lay a damp towel on the ding then use the steam and heat from the iron. I only apply it 6 to 10 seconds then check the ding. I've had good luck on light dings and some deep ones on occasion. I've used this technique for over 20 years with great success.
