Re: ShopTalk: Epoxy bonding problem

Prep like others, but use Q-tips to apply and wipe/dry/clean hosel with acetone..  Make sure both hosel and shaft tip are dry before applying epoxy.  You may be contaminating epoxy with acetone, be sure you're not!   Bill ----- Original Message ----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, September 30, 2003 2:50 PM Subject: Re: ShopTalk: Epoxy bonding problem In a message dated 9/30/03 3:23:59 PM Eastern Daylight Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: My question: What is the best way to prepare the bore and the shaft to get an optimal bond ? Regards, Leo - The netherlands Prep steel shaft tips on coarse belt sander or fine bench grinder wheel (KEEP TURNING). Use 3/8" stainless steel "tube brush" in an electric drill or a fine - medium  stone in a dremel tool inside the hosel. NOW, clean both parts with acetone and epoxy together. Arnie
