Cue repair

[ferret]

Would gluing be sufficient to fix this. (See attached image)

It is the shaft of a John Parris cue, a friend of mine got frustrated and hit the butt against the table and the cue spit at the joint.

Can any of the cue doctors or cue makers provide some light on this issue?

I could fix that in Photoshop. SNAP!

Use 2 part epoxy resin. Make sure it fits together properly before you glue and clamp it. Use another less common product called "wood epoxy" if you have any filling to do. Wood epoxy can be tinted to match grain if necessary and much stronger than regular wood filler.

Of course a good cue doctor is best if you aren't handy with wood working.

John Parris will fix it but i think this is the time to get a new cue.

It could be repaired. you could try the method as mentioned or another strong glue is gorilla glue. Whatever the method, you would need to have a couple of clamps to hold it in place. A good cue doctor would be able to fix this but it will always be a little weaker at this part, it must be stated though, that im not a cue maker, so i might be wrong.

That's exactly what happened to the shaft of my JP cue two days ago. I hit it against the table Now I have to order a new shaft.

But for me that looks like it's fixable but not sure if plain gluing is enough..

How about a Trevor White?

Araldite, or Araldite Rapid will do the trick. Clamp it, and it should be ok the following morning. Iv done 100s of these and so far had no complaints
