AVID Cleaning and Care

Surface care for Cuetec AVID shafts.

Cuetec AVID shafts must never be sanded or roughened. The use of abrasives damages the coating, may weaken the glass composite bonding layers and releases potentially harmful materials that could pose a risk to your health. Any polishing, sanding or treatment of the surface with abrasives or chemicals of any kind will void the warranty.

Never use baby powder, hand chalk, talcum powder or other treatment agents on a Cuetec AVID shaft.

To clean the surface of your Cuetec AVID shaft, you will need just a few materials: isopropyl alcohol (75% or higher) and two (2) clean, lint-free soft cloth towels.

Step 1. Remove dust and dirt by wiping the shaft with a soft, clean cloth.

Step 2. Apply a moderate amount of isopropyl alcohol (75% or higher) to a clean, soft cloth. Next, rub the towel up and down the length of the shaft whilst rotating your hand around its circumference. You may see dirt on the towel. This is completely normal. Continue wiping with the same motion until all areas are thoroughly cleaned, then allow the surface to dry for a moment.

Changing the tip of your Cuetec AVID shaft.

Cuetec AVID shafts feature a lightweight white ferrule. This front-end construction allows for easy replacement of the tip throughout the life of the shafts. When changing the tip, it is important to clean the ferrule. The minimum height of the ferrule must be greater than 2 mm to maintain warranty coverage.

* Always use a recognised and experienced cue repairer. Never allow a cue repairer to sand or modify the surface of the shaft when installing a new tip.

Replacing the ferrule of your Cuetec AVID shaft.

Although it is unlikely that the ferrule will ever need replacing, this must be carried out by an authorised Cuetec repair service. This is necessary due to the complexity of the adhesives used and to ensure that the glass bonding layers are not damaged. To find an authorised repair service near you, please contact customerservice@cuetec.com.

Adjusting the weight of a Cuetec AVID shaft.

Cuetec AVID shafts use a cartridge-based weighting system. To adjust the weight of your cue. Remove the bumper using a 10 mm Allen key. Once the bumper has been removed, insert a Phillips screwdriver into the butt and turn it anti-clockwise to remove all installed weights. Cuetec Acueweights are available in increments of 0.25 oz, 0.05 oz and 1.0 oz.

Warp

Cuetec AVID shafts come with a lifetime warranty against warping.

Misuse

Cuetec AVID shafts are not designed to withstand significant lateral pressure. They should never be excessively bent, struck against other objects or treated with abrasives, whether solid or liquid.

Diameter

Cuetec AVID shaft diameters should never be altered. Any sanding, polishing or abrasive treatment may damage the ultra-thin glass bonding surface and immediately void the warranty.
