What exactly is sugar sand?

I won't comment about the epoxy but when shafting a club where the shaft and head is a loose fit but enough for a shim I sprinkle a little sugar sand on the shaft after the epoxy then twist it into the head.Sure tightens it up and I never had one come off. df
Sugar sand is what you get on the beach in Destin, Florida. No kidding. It's worth the trip! I keep a jar on my workbench and in the dead of Winter here in Michigan I close my eyes and run the sand through my fingers. The rest of the time it's great for assembling clubs where the shaft normally needs some shimming.
A few tips though: Wash the sand when you get it home, you don't want salt contamination. Mix the sand into the epoxy, I don't recommend the method described above because there won't be enough epoxy (IMHO).
