Overhanging tip

[Granger147]

Whoever done the work on it originally absolutely butchered it! So I sent it over to Martin Daly to sort out

No mate was around 10mm when I bought it. Whys that?

Some used to have very large tips from their billiards days!

Yeah I used to have one with original specs years ago that I loved and sold it like a bell end.

Thanks for the advice shockerz I’ll give that a go! I used to use a mushroom tip for years and loved it but never actually put one on myself. Now I’ve had to have lost 3mm on the tip end of my burwat I feel I need a bigger tip.

I've just tried fitting a mushroom tip using a pencil sharpener and that went well. My video cards just given the ghost up so when the new one comes I'll do a video to show how to do it easily.

You can use pencil sharpener style tip trimmers from eBay. They are just over sized pencil sharpeners and they work a treat and very cheap. I have just done a couple of tips using one for the first time and it was so easy. One was a harder laminated tip and no problems. Very neat job!

Have to agree. Brilliant "invention" and so cheap. Bought two a couple of years ago and they have gone a bit blunt now so just threw them away.

a friend wanted a overhanging tip once, so I put some masking tape, about five layers I think, and my "pencil-sharpner" did a really good job; one happy customer

Good tip. Apologies for the pun!
