Epoxying a golf club head to the shaft is a critical process to ensure the club's performance and durability. Here are the steps:
1. Prepare the surfaces by cleaning both the hosel (the club head’s socket) and the shaft's tip. This can be done with sandpaper and a solvent.
2. Mix the epoxy
resin according to the manufacturer's instructions. It's paramount to get the ratio right for the bond to be strong and durable.
3. Apply a liberal amount of the mixed epoxy inside the hosel and on the shaft's tip. Ensure the application is even.
4. Insert the shaft into the hosel, twisting slightly to ensure the epoxy spreads evenly.
5. Wipe away any excess epoxy that squeezes out.
6. Allow the epoxy to cure as per the epoxy manufacturer’s recommendation, usually 24 hours for full strength.
7. Once cured, the club is ready to use.
Remember, the key to a successful bond is in the preparation and the correct mixing and application of the epoxy.
