Chunk missing in butt. Wood filler?

Try Wilkos, they have it, Evostick is no good, must be araldite epoxy.

Yea, Lakin "Demon Potter of Derbyshire"

I read about him on another forum.

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/araldite-preci...9#ht_500wt_928 Is this tghe stuff? I have ebony dust. Well I say dust but its more like thin shavings. Do they need to be very fine?

[Sneaky-Pete]

The ebony needs to be filed so that it is like dust, yes thats the stuff, I used the rapid acting version, as I say try Wilko's.

Just remembered I read about Lakin on Derby snooker forum, some poor old fella with a zimmer frame who played snooker before I was even born. Seems a bit of a character.

Haha no mate, hes 19 and was the youngest ever player to qualify for the world rules england mens team when he was 16. Awesome player, a good friend of Jack Whelan. http://www.ustream.tv/recorded/1514612 he is the young lad in the video. and hes pretty ****ed here haha but still plays alright.

Sorry mate, some old fella said Lakin had a thin cue that he must have bought from Tessa Sanderson, must be like a javelin.
Always on about his "supa scuta", does some funny stuff about "Flyin St Bernards"
Sure it was Derby snooker site.

[chrisgairjunior]

There is truth in that, Lakin has a 6mm tip.

If it is epoxy you want, does not have to be Araldite. There are better expoxies around. Try a shop where they sell modelling things for Radio Control planes.

You will get a better match using ebony sawdust and mixing with epoxy resin or even a wood glue. the miilput is very good for doing the job too but it is black. does a good job though.

Thanks tiny but ive got a block at home that i am hoping to splice onto a cue one day.

[Sneaky-Pete]

How did it go Chris.
Did you manage to mix and match and smooth down so that you can't tell is there or not.

Very well, I appreciate all the help, Its pretty much flawless, the stuff filed down into shape very well too, I used a stanley knife, a file, some fine sandpaper, then wire wool. after that I polished with some wax and there is only a minute difference between the colour of the ebony and the resin. It was good as new but then today my ferrule snapped off on the break. I've started referruling using a stanley and a file. I think the epoxy will stick the ferrule on well enough but im pretty ****ed off. I just refinished it and now its back to square one!
