Shining/Buffing the ferrule

[jim evans]

got to back you up on that sanman

[poolqjunkie]

yes, use 1500+ and go up then polishing compound and a bit of wax/car polsih should give you super shine.

i dont bother, if its too shiny it distracts me with reflection off the lights

Hey Guys, my ferrule is slightly scratched in areas, just wondering what is the best way to remove them/make them barely visible without having to put a new ferrule on, thanks!

[DeanH]

some people say they use very fine wirewool or emery-cloth to buff out small scratches.

you may want to put some masking tape on the shaft to protect the wood.

Did mine yesterday with wire wool .

Looks ok .

I don't use wirewool, what grade do you use?

[Neil Taperell]

Some fine wool I bought on t'internet .

Was watching a video by Snooker Crazy , and it inspired me to go and buy a rack of new sandpaper , scalpels , wire wool , super glue etc . The Mrs was giving me some funny looks when it all started to turn up .

0000 for me, but like you I only clean the ferrule when re-tipping.
