A tip pick, tip tapper or other tip tool should be used for roughing up the tip when it doesn’t hold chalk.  Most people over use these tools and wear down their tips much faster than they need to.  You need to be especially careful with the picks.  If they slip they will scar a ferrule.  Most miscues are the result of a poor stroke, not because the tip isn’t holding chalk like it should.   

If you get a nick in the butt of the cue that goes all the way through the finish clear fingernail polish will usually seal the hole well enough to prevent moisture from getting underneath the finish. Super glue works well too, but it is trickier to work with. It may not take much to cause the finish to separate from the wood. So, take care of holes in the finish quickly. Another way to protect your cue from moisture is to purchase joint protectors. They are inexpensive and they will help to prevent moisture from entering your cue at the exposed joint, as well as protecting these areas from other possible damage. RAVEN cues are sealed (internally and externally) on both ends of the joint when they are made to help prevent this problem. Even so joint protectors are a good idea.

The Meucci cues have been added.  Below is an example of what they are like.
