glued up 2 piece cue joint

[3cushion]

i have an old peradon and fletcher cue. a number of years ago the joint stopped working properly.... i think the brass thread wore out.... so i just glued it up!

prob now is something is loose and and it clunks on some shots so i want to seperate the 2 pieces and see whats going on..... a heat gun will do it but obviously this might damage the wood. any thoughts?

thanks

What glue did you glue it with, do you remember?

epoxy resin / hardener

I was hoping you wouldn't say that. If it had been superglue, maybe loosen with acetone. You can get a solvent to remove epoxy but I'm not sure if it would get into the joint sufficiently. You'd have to tape the surrounding timber. It may work I guess:

What you gonna do once you've got it apart and removed the loose bit? Please don't say glue it back together. :biggrin-new:

most likely that or throw it away and buy another one .... its a thirty year old peradon & fletcher so i guess its a good cue. first game of the season is soon so i will see how it performs. thanks

Fair play mate, you're trying to keep something going rather than junking it. Good luck with that. Let us know how you got on.

Try a heat gun, epoxy will melt at a certain temperature. just watch you don't over heat it. keep putting it on and taking heat off until it melts. maybe put a towel over it before, to make sure it doesn't get too hot.
