Hairline crack in the butt end of the cue

Kindly advise a fix for this. I guess it is an easy job.

that is your climate at work again! - put superglue in the fridge - pour into the gap and leave - sand and refinish.

Thanks a lot. I was thinking it is the tip, just noticed that the crack is causing the tinny sound on certain shots.

it won't be the crack - I will talk you through the repair if you need me to - call me tomorrow.

That's very kind of you. I will try the fix. Sounds simple enough.

it is - the trick is to get the superglue very cold then as it warms up it pulls the wood together.

If you stay in a dry climate then I have noticed the you may get issues like this especially in that area of the cue below the badge. I have had one or two cues that were sent to people staying in hot dry areas having the exact same issue. Trick is to oil the cues nicely when you receive them and do so regularly as well

How do you sand it down without damage the finish or the badge?

Stanley blade scrape away excess glue and carefully with sandpaper go over the glued area and not badge. If you have one of those nail file things with varying roughness very handy as well

Thanks for the advise!

If you do happen to go over the badge at all, go to a car body shop and get some 900, 1500 and 2000 wet and dry.
Will bring it back up to what it was.

I put masking tape on the badge to protect it. Applied cold gel type super glue, It's below the tape, not sure if you can see the glue. I will leave it for 24 hours and refinish it.
