Definitely get a ferrule and tip put on professionally...A new tip is usually about $15 (more for something like a Moori tip), but if it's missing a ferrule, too...don't know how much that'll be. If you didn't buy it used, you should definitely ask the seller to right it for you. Also, is there any chance you just have a Sledgehammer tip on there? Is it a jump/break cue by any chance? Those tips are really funny-looking if you don't know what you're looking at. --Lea p.s. Alternatively, you can always ask Johnny if he could part with one of those screw-on tips he used to offer to go with Donald's old cue (not that any of us could afford that!)

No, but, as mentioned; "Why"?
Use the chalk in a rotation from center to outer edge to chalk. When you good you should not need to chalk often, only during those "Flabbergasting Shots" like jumps and around a ball shot that put stress on the tip and take off the chalk.

you can wet your cue tip it is not against the rules , but you will find your tip will start to become spongy.And will result in your shots becoming none responsive.my best advice is to use a very smooth sandpaper and lightly sand from the centre in a downward motion thus achieving the desired affect that the chalk will now stay on the tip. hope this helps

Agree with Bryan O. You can wet your tip, but there are much better ways to remove and then re-apply chalk. your tip is not designed for moisture. I would also suggest getting a pick to open your tip up some so it holds chalk better.

No but it would ruin the tip. If it's your own cue it wouldn't be wise. Further, even touching the tip with your finger puts oils on the tip and that's not good either.
