Temperatures should not be lower than 65 degrees Fahrenheit and never exceed 135 degrees Fahrenheit. The ideal temperature is between 70 and 90 degrees Fahrenheit. In warmer weather, the epoxy could dry in twelve to eighteen hours.

You must apply enough heat to break the epoxy bond. Shaft epoxy breaks down at about 250 degrees Farenheit. The resin in the graphite shaft is not affected until the temperature reaches approximately 350 degrees Farenheit. Remember, if the epoxy bond is not broken, the head will not pull off.Sep 22, 2008

Using epoxy to install a shaft is not a difficult task, but I think some people get a bit confused when dealing with different types of golf clubs. Putters are fairly easy to do, but when re-shafting irons and woods, we have to install the ferrule as well, which is a bit confusing to the novice.

Can you use too much epoxy on a golf club?

Is too much epoxy bad for golf clubs?

It is important to understand that using too much epoxy can do more harm than just creating a mess. Remember the saying “too much of a good thing is actually a bad thing”? Over-application of epoxy can result in swingweight problems and has a tendency to break loose and causes shaft rattles over time as the club is played. With composite assembly, the over-application of epoxy is the leading cause of shaft breakage as excess epoxy goes up inside the shaft tip to form a solid plug of epoxy. When cured, an epoxy core extending above the top of the hosel can create a shear point within the shaft leading to premature failure – a potentially dangerous situation! Make a practice of using the proper amount of epoxy.

so the question is... Does anyone have problems with golf shaft epoxy failing? I've had the same club head come loose twice now. Can't really see a reason why it would be failing. The club head seems as clean as the rest inside the hosel. I don't hit that club anymore that any other club.

hckymeyer

Typically when this happens it's either because the hosel and shaft weren't cleaned and prepped properly, or the epoxy wasn't mixed properly. Was the same epoxy used through out the entire set? Or you mentioned it's the 2nd time this happened to the same iron, could have just been a bad ratio or mix if it was a one off rebuild.

Erik-M

Initially the entire iron set was done at the same time, used shafting beads in the entire set also. After the first time it failed Michael Riley reshafted it on his own but I would assume he used shafting beads then too.

Erik-M

I will clean the hosel to the nth degree when I reshaft it in the next day or 2

Also make sure there isn't a build up of epoxy in the shaft tip. If so drill it out. You need a way for the air to escape up the shaft when you insert the shaft into the hosel.

regardless of whether it is dry or not, how comfortable will you feel standing over the first shot with it? if all you are thinking about is the head flying off, i'm guessing you won't put the best swing on the ball.
