Hi Robert: It went very fast for me; a matter of three minutes! Frank (Plenty of ventilation here too) ----- Original Message ----- From: Robert Devino To: [email protected] Sent: Wednesday, September 24, 2008 12:18 PM Subject: Re: ShopTalk: Technical Articles
Well literally a fire on the hole!! I hope this was done outside due to the toxic nature of the fumes that would be given off by burning it out. You could have just drilled out most of it on your drill press and used a reeming bit to get the rest. But hey some people like to play with fire and watch it and well you get the picture !!! LOL!!!!

It was broken flush with the stainless steel hosel. The graphite shaft tip and shafting epoxy was so hard I had difficulty in trying to drill out the hosel. I used a small blow torch to heat the hosel until the shaft tip and epoxy caught fires; looked like a minature volcano. All I had to do was to remove the ashes and clean the inside of the hosel with a bronze brush. Since it was a wedge I prepped the tip of the old shaft and and re-fitted it to the club. The golfer was really pleased with the effort; especially the fairly low cost - $25 plus sales tax.
