Cant get the tip flat to the cue!!

[poolqjunkie]

ill get one of those one of the days. But for now ive just picked at the wood in the middle of the ferrule and ive got the tip on ok for now, just to get me through tonight. Ill order one of those one day and hopefully it will sort it

You should not need to replace the ferrule because the rim has been filed lowered than the middle.
I would recommend using just a nice sharp blade and take off the wood that is in the middle. You can check to see if the ferrule is flat by using the blade placing it on top of your ferrule.
Epoxy can fill the gaps even if the ferrule is not 100% flat.
Most tips I would say are quite reasonably flat on the bottom so that should not be the problem. Some people use the sanding disc to sand the top of the ferrule and end up making the top uneven because the disc moves all over the place when it turns. I am not sure if there is a proper way to use that as I never really try one.
When you replace your tip, just take off the old tip and the excess glue with a blade, do not take off the wood and metal. O, and please do not use too much glue, you are just going to waste it plus making a big mess.

Well ive been trying for days to get the tip flat to the cue. It always stands up around the edges from the cue(always a gap) and only seems to stick on near the middle of the cue, which is making it come off everytime i play. The trouble is, sanding makes it worse. I dont think its the cue as when i put the tip on the file im using its still stuck up around the edges a little. When i sand it, i thought it would make it flat, but it just makes it just as bad. Anyone got any ideas what could be up and how i could get it totally flat to the cue around the edges so it never comes off again

i use the rapid cue top sander its superb for getting your cue nice and flat to take your
