Pictures of your tips

[Ramon]

I'm a Car wax freek and have never thought about using it on my Ferrule. Off to give it a try. Could you show a pic of the nail polishing tool?

My m8, (I said about him in my previous post). I called him. He said he uses acetone as polishing tool !!! after that, car wax. But you have to be careful. If you put too much of that stuff on the ferrule , he'll damage the ferrule. I'll give it a try. Perhaps fatnew has better advice for us!!!

something like this. size of 1" x 8" maybe.
have two side, one is rough, the other is smooth, elastic material inside.
use the smooth side to polish the ferrule softly, it'll be shiny without any damage
the surface of nail tool will become black, be careful of the wood below ferrule, black is not a good looking

Personally, I don't like to use chemical material, I prefer physical polishing.
Carwax is for clean and keep it shiny, just a little, very thin, it won't make damage.

Here I was thinking my ferrule was nice and shiny, bubble well and truly burst, does it really need to be that shiny?

Yes Jonny,,, It does !!!! . The cue must be cleaned every day. The ferrule must shine like a mirror. Cue case must be cleaned every day as well.!!
Otherwise I can'nt sleep. You might wanna call me mad !!! to be honest with you,,, I don't blame you.!!!!

+10 To that ,,, after all. we all love snooker !!! nothing wrong with that !!!'

Would anyone be kind enough to do a video of him making his tip like this? I still am unable to get it right about twisting the cue sideways instead of doing vertical cuts.

Here's one of mine, 10mm Talisman soft on a 9.3mm ferrule

[gazza147]

It looks to me he has done Vertical Cuts if you look closely at tip, to get it to taper/dome out all you do is when doing Vertical Cuts do it at abit of a Angle going outwards and not Flush with Ferrule!. I like mine flush to the ferrule as if you have 8.5mm Tip for Pool you wanna hit less of the Cueball if you want a bigger dome tip yes its ok for snooker as Snooker Cueball alot bigger or if Ferrule very small on your Pool Cue.
