im reshafting my clubs later this week. i went ahead and pulled the shafts and cleaned the heads. i drilled out all of the old epoxy, sanded it a ***** ton, used a wire brush on a drill to get EVERYTHING out, and cleaned the inside with alcohol and q tips. is there anything else i need to do to prep the hosel?

dat dude

I am using the regular tour set and not thr plus. I reshafted my 3 iron last season, and maybe 4 clubs for friends. Also took a club repair class. I always gave the hosel a few minutes worth of cleaning, but never had one come out. Just wanna make sure im all set becsuse i use my clubs a lot.

You should be fine although you really didn't need to use the alcohol (I would either use acetone or nothing). See link from [url="http://www.westsystem.com/ss/assets/Uploads/Ew20Contamination.pdf"]Westsystems [/url] on how clean is clean. Food for thought.

I use a milling bit to clean out the bottom of the hosel and a dremel drum sander that is smaller than the hosel and work my way around to clean out all the old epoxy. My last step is 100 grit sandpaper wrapped around itself to get allow the epoxy a good grip inside the hosel.

dat dude

Ive used a ton of stuff. My favorites are a wire brush dremel bit, an actual drill bit to drill through old epoxy, and a tool i made lol. I took double sided tape and wrapped it around a screw driver. Then role the screw driver in a small piece of sand paper.

Feedback

I use a gun barrel wire brush, the hardest I can find in the right size. You can also roll a bit of new sandpaper to fill the hole and turn it. The old epoxy can be reheated and immediately turned with the wire brush or the sandpaper. Sometimes the old epoxy becomes brittle if you don't fully reheat it and falls out like powder.

Feedback

Go to a gun shop and get a "stiff" brass brush for a .370 or so bore,use the brush in a drill, heat the hosel neck till the epoxy starts to bubble

sounds good. I like to degrease ( acetone or isopropyl alcohol), abrade to bright metal and degrease...this way you wont grind the contaminents into the metal. Maybe don't sand too much, you don't want to increase the inside diameter of the hosel and effect the 'bond line'. Apply a little heat to soften the epoxy. You may want to tap some threads.

Feedback

You've done well, I usually pull the shafts, drill out or file all excess epoxy and run some acetone through! I also like to use a hand file to rough up the shaft tip, use the sharp edge to create groove like (not too deep that it would damage or weaken the shaft) marks for the epoxy to set between, I've never had a problem and use a 2 part heavy duty epoxy, 24 hour cure for best results and often a slight drop inside the ferrule to save it pulling up after time, but this can be avoided if you'd like to reuse. End result, you've done great.
