Default Quick needle fix

The tip of one of my rosewood circs is a bit splintery. I've been
working on it with 800-grit sandpaper but the rough spot won't be
gone. I finally blew out the dust with a can of air (handy stuff,
canned air, but 'spensive) and dabbed on some superglue gel. I'm
waiting for it to dry, then I'll sand again and buff the tip with a
bit of hard wax.

It ought to at least let me finish the sweater, after which I can
decide if I want to shorten the tip 1/2" to get rid of that spot
altogether (and thus risk more splinters by retipping it) or if I want
to invoke the warranty.

Either way, this is a quick fix.

I have done the same thing with bamboo needles, I am still using the
needle. It was not jell, just the regular super glue.

Good luck,
Dennis
