  • How do you get rid of chips or dings in a cue shaft?

    I broke of last night on a 8 ball table and went through to hard, the cue flew up and hit the lighting rig, smashed a bulb, which in turn embedded its self into the cue!!!!
    it now has small but significant little holes, where the glass was.

    HELP!!!!!

    can they be filled, if so with what?
    they're to deep to sand out!

    Give it an intensive rub with a glass (THICK drinking glass) - same direction as if you were sanding the shaft. rub it until you don't feel the dents under the glass and it runs smooth. It works as a magic! Glass has a great effect on wood dents and it wont worn the shaft/finish. Don't sand it in any case. hope it helps

                    I've never heard of this 'marble method', can you elucidate, please? I'm interested for myself, but also for any forum members who don't speak English as a 1st language.

                      Basically you rub the marble over the dent smoothing the wood out. I was told off and have to give credit to ADR147 as he mentioned it a while ago
