Tips:
Be careful not to cut into the tip deeper than flush with the ferrule with the knife when trimming the overlapping edge. If you do, you might need to remove the tip and do it all over again with a new tip.
Never sand upwards against the tip with a rough grit sandpaper. This could cause the tip to become spongy and useless.Don't expect your tip-job to be perfect the first time. Practice on old cues or house cues first. For a perfect job, take your cue to a professional cue repair person. It will cost you less than than having to replace a damaged shaft.
