Shaping a tip?

[Ramon]

Not a clue what you're on about, I'll leave you to it.

I can'nt polish the ferrule with sandpaper.
And just leave the ferrule after Re-tipping is not a good idea. Clean up the ferrule and polish it is a part of Re-tipping .
looks like you have new ideas ( Glue, blade and sandpaper - job done. ).
How do you do that? And did you learn this from your own experience or someone told you?
I try learn something new here. that's all.

What's your problem pal?

Can't help but think that people go overboard these days! Glue, blade and sandpaper - job done.

Sandpaper to polish the ferrule , eh ?
Right !!

How did you found out ? some one told you or you did figure it out all by your own ?

I have fitted a 11mm ADR147 tip to my 11mm cue and I used the bench grinder to shape it and i finished it off with a dime shaped tip tool. Took about 15 mins and i played with it a couple of hours later, job done with a perfect tip.

Hi Ramon,

That's a good and neat installation too. Just need some touch up on the dome
Anyway it's just cosmetic issue. Priority is the skill.. Sad to say I'm confident for tip installation but my snooker skill sucks.. Haha..

Mine too , my friend .

when i put a over sized tip on i put the cue upside down and use a stanley knife to trim away the tip then i use a tip trimmer to tidy it up but when using the stanley knife DON'T touch the wood shaft.

Looks great . I saw you mentioned using Shoe wax ?

This picture was my cue ( also Laminated shaft ) , here i used Car wax to clean the ferrule .
Next time , i'm gonna give shoe wax a try .
Yours looks much better tbh .

Hi jrc750,

It is a 11mm tip to a 9.5mm ferrule. And I Pressed the tip before install so it does get abit bigger at dia As the base of the tip is bigger it's easier to tip onto the ferrule

Hi Shockerz,

Yes sir, it's clear wax
I've learnt the milk dud method from your web Tried the tip on my cue and I like it

If you can find the right time to leave it and can replicate the same pressure from the press then it can certainly churn out some nice, grippy tips with good feel.

Glad you liked the article.
