Q4, like real ivory, has a translucency factor to it when thinly cut such as these slabs are for inlay. When inlaying real ivory or these slabs the darker wood socket may shadow and discolor the inlay itself unless a white backing is supplied. This can be done through one of these methods:

1) Mix titanium dioxide (white powder paint tint found via an internet search or on www.bulkapothecary.com) into your epoxy to turn it white.

2) Use a white paint (white-out) to paint the sockets and then set to dry before inlaying.

3) Glue white card stock paper onto the back of the material either before or after doing the cutouts or place the card stock in the socket.

Q4™ Complete Imitation Ivory Cue System.

These slabs have the snakeskin pattern in the material.

The Q4 system is a high density polyester resin with ivory grain structure that works for all 4 of the original applications where real ivory was used in cues back in the day.

1) Ferrules.

2) Joints.

3) Butt Caps.

4) Inlay Material. 

This material has been tested by top cue makers who have been very impressed with this new material. This is not the Resin Ivory we have sold for years. We realized that our resin material needed to be improved for the cue trade and after a good deal of work we have this new and much improved high density resin. This is 25% more dense than our old resin and it is much stronger and tougher.

A) New color - this is white and it has grain.

B) Great hit with powerful impact resiliency and superior strength. No chalking. Burnishes to the degree of polish desired from matte to high gloss on ferrules.

C) Machines beautifully for any part needed and accepts all common finishes used in the cue industry.

D) Holds up to the abuse of players.

E) Clean cut-outs on inlay stock.

F) Glues very well with quality epoxy. West System epoxy was used in the initial testing and it bonded very well. There are no bonding issues.

Available in ferrule, joint, and butt diameter rod stock and in slabs for inlay as well as in point square stock.
