We recommend seeking assistance from a professional cue repair technician for tip installation. However, if you're interested in learning the process, here's a guide:

1. Remove the Old Tip: If there's an old tip on the cue, carefully remove it using a sharp knife or a specialized tip tool. Be cautious not to damage the ferrule (the white part at the end of the cue).

2. Prepare the Ferrule: Once the old tip is removed, use fine sandpaper to clean and roughen the surface of the ferrule where the new tip will be attached. This helps the glue adhere better.

3. Apply Glue: Apply a modest amount of cue tip glue to both the ferrule and the backside of the new tip. Spread the glue evenly, but don't use too much.

4. Attach the Tip: Carefully align the new tip with the ferrule and press it firmly into place. Make sure it's centered and fully adhered.

5. Trim and Shape: Once the glue has dried, use a tip trimmer or a sharp knife to trim the excess tip material, leaving a slight overhang. Then, shape the tip to your desired curvature using a tip shaper or fine sandpaper.

6. Fine-Tune: After shaping, use sandpaper to smooth the edges of the tip and ensure it's flush with the ferrule.

7. Let it Cure: Allow the glue to fully cure.
