For the hosels, I fill the hosel half full with acetone from a squirt bottle, run a hosel hone down the hosel for 5 seconds, empty the acetone into trash can, blow hosel out with air gun. Both preps quick and inexpensive.

I have no problem at all with the bond between grapite shafts and iron or wood clubheads. However Iron heads on iron shafts are getting me nervous. I am lucky that nobody had yet the surprise of a flying clubhead, but now and then there comes some creep in a clubhead. I just got 2 back for a friend, and with my own set I am going to re-epoxy the head of 2 irons. My question: What is the best way to prepare the bore and the shaft to get an optimal bond ?
