Thank you very much! I just use rubbing alcohol to clean the ferrule first. If I have any excess glue on the shaft or ferrule after installing the tip, I will first try to remove it with the razor blade. If that doesn't work, I will use a very small amount of acetone on a rag to remove the glue. Thanks for commenting.
So, not sure why most people take the tape off right away, before machining the diameter of the tip to match the shaft. As a machinist, I need to know where I'm at. I use a .001 indicator and the tape to keep me from hacking into someone's $500 C/F shaft. I machine til I just skin the tape off n I can sand from there. It's 100% repeatable...which is the goal my friend. This "hold a razor backwards" crap is not machining.ruclips.net/user/shortsjCt2Ta-1u88?si=FLjJir0ydgFP6GDq
Using the razor blade is not for everyone, and there is nothing wrong with that. For me, the razor blade is the best way to cut the tip to the same diameter as the shaft. When I cut down the tip, I always leave a bit of overhang. This way, I am never going to hack into someone's $500 carbon fiber shaft.
Nice job 👍
I have a question? What you use to clean the ecxes glue on the tape and ferrule?
Alcohol or what chemical?
