A plastic chop stick works real good for applying the epoxy. Wipe the chop stick to remove uncured epoxy > ready for the next job. 1 plastic chop stick will last your whole clubmaking career. Thanks HarryS www.Golf54.com

Roll the tip of the shaft in the epoxy mixture to put a very light coat of epoxy on it. Slide the ferrule on, but not so far that it goes higher than it will end up with a snug fit (you shouldn't be able to push it that far....) Use the clubhead to push the ferrule the rest of the way by seating the shaft into the hosel. Then use an old phillips screwdriver to coat the inside of the hosel with epoxy, and roll the shaft tip in epoxy to load it a little. As you push the shaft into the hosel, rotate the head to ensure the epoxy is spread between the shaft and the hosel surfaces. You should get some squeeze out at the base of the ferrule, wipe this with a piece of paper towel. Align the shaft like you want it...(that's a whole nuther discussion) then lightly wipe the shaft and the head with grip solvent or mineral spirits to clean off any epoxy fingerprints, and set 'er down to cure. Tomorrow, cut it to length, grip it and rip it. Royce
