Well, now I've went and done it.

I just went out to the shop and turned my temp up a deg. Also looked at that epoxy to see if it was cloudy. Sure enough the resin is totally cloudy for about 4/5 ths the way up.
I've ordered a bunch of stuff for cue work, and my woodturning this last couple weeks.
Some came today, not what I am waiting for to fix that shaft, but one of the boxes of woodturning stuff had a bunch of wood for possible cue builds. Wife just rolled her eyes.
It's a whiteout here right now, maybe I'll do some woodturning thisaft, haven't done any of that for probably 6 months.

I got the chance to get out in my shop this afternoon and took a look at a new unopened bottle of epoxy. The new one's not cloudy at all so it's possible my other one's getting a little old. I do find setting them in some warm water does help them flow easier out of the bottle, and mix.

I use T-88 and it is a 24 hr cure time. It works VERY well, not cheap but worth it.

Will t-88 work in other areas, I'd just hate to buy it for one repair and then not have another use for it?

Can t-88 be used in other areas? I'd hate to buy it for only a reapair on a cf cue shaft since i don't build them., They are not in demand anymore., since most already have one.

As you guys noted, Tomahawk laughs at 400. I start with 220 after the cutting bit for a ferrule install.

Not sure why, but I had no issues working with that tomahawk I got the other day when making that replacement. It cut very easy for me and I started with 400, then600,then 800 then 1200. Then just polished like I always do on ferrules with some triple E ultra shine wax polish.
Turned out great and didn't notice any problems with my sandpaper.
Great stuff, and for me was easy to work with.

You will not regret your material decision, or the gentleman that you ordered it from.
