Re: ShopTalk: Fast set epoxy

The degraded properties of a fast set epoxy don't mean you will have problems, only that they are more likely.  Dynacraft gets reports on thousands of clubs built every year and they say there is a much higher incidence of failure with the fast set's than the 24-hr epoxy.  If you build for yourself and you don't play around expensive cars go for it, if you are building for others and care about what's in your pockets, I would use the more reliable product.

I keep reading messages about fast setting epoxy failing. But I have been using it regularly from both GS & GW and have not had any problems. I often have played with a club just minutes after shafting it. Then I continue playing it and have nothad any probems doing so. ED from TN

Hi;

 

I rarely use quickset epoxy, mostly because a lot of it I've tried didn't work as well as I expected. However, I came upon some last week. Its called, simply,  "SHAFTS Quick Epoxy"  The label includes the info, "Bill Johnson, 319 Santa Clara Circle, Lady Lake, FL 32159, 1-800-771-7467.

 

I'm not promoting this stuff and I don't know who the guy is, but I'll tell ya, this stuff works! I stuck a graphite shaft in a fairway metal, waited 10 minutes and then hit a dozen balls, swinging as hard as I could. The head is on solidly. I also put a steel shaft in a 9 iron head, and another graphite in a driver head. I got the same results. The heads stayed on solid as any 24 hr stuff I've used. I suppose time will tell but I'm impressed so far.
