Which shaft epoxy

[drawboy]

I'm fitting a TM shaft adapter to a new shaft for my R11 and was wondering which shaft epoxy will be the best to use. I've trolled the 'net and come away with my head spinning (Hope that doesn't happen in the R11) I do not need a lot it's only a one off so I do not want to spend a lot of money. I have seen one off sachets on Ebay but I'm not sure if it is the right stuff. Any advise appreciated thanks

if youre only ever going to do this once, get your pro to glue it otherwise ure looking at 6.99 + delivery off gamola or golfstorepro

i bought one of the One off satchets on eBay from a golf shop worked a treat. I fitted a TM adaptor to a kai'li shaft last summer no probs.

Any epoxy for b&q etc will do, dont go for the five minute ultra quick drying stuff though need a bit of time to line things up etc

As Chris says, any epoxy will do. Prepare the tip of the shaft properly, clean it properly, clean the adaptor then mix the epoxy thoroughly with the specified amount of each part and it'll be fine.

all the diy superstores do the 2 part epoxy in a syringe so that you will get the measuring exact. That is what I used when I lengthened my irons to fit the extensions.

Araldite is absolutely champion for this and what I use all the time.

do you know that the ferrule with markings on it is seperate?

If you're doing this properly you should have shafting beads mixed into the epoxy to get the shaft aligned absolutely correctly.

I used B&Q epoxy in the syringe,no probs, are you taking 1/2 off the shaft tip as there seems to be a train of thought that when installing into a R11 adaptor you need to do this as it does not go that full inch into the hosel like it does in a glued model.

I called TM direct about this they said it doesn't need doing.

 

[thecraw]

You also won't really need shafting beads for a shaft going into a TM adaptor.

thanks for that cause i did not tip mine and was a bit concerned.

Tipping it will stiffen the shaft. If it plays too long just butt tip it. Your pro can either blow the grip or just buy a grip from Gamola and replace the grip.

Depends who you talk to, some club builders insist you need them to centre the shaft in the tip.

You can use sugar, does the same job apparently.

Sugar will break the epoxy down through time, besides sugar grains are too large anyway.

You don't need glass beads for an adapter and I would only ever use sugar in my coffee!

Does anyone that has done this like to spend 5 mins writing a step by step idiots guide to how exactly to fit an adapter, it would be really usefull
Thanks
