    Glass Shafting Beads

    Does one nead to add glass shafting beads to the epoxy to ensure that the shaft is fixed right and centered? Kind of a newbie question but I am getting ready to order all I need from GW and want to make sure that I am not missing anything.
    If anyone has extra tools for clubbuilding lying around, PM me with what you have and how much.
    Thanks

    Dry fit everything first,if you have any play or looseness then you can add some.
    If everything is tight,which it usually is with components your good to go.

    You don't want excess play between the 2.
    If there is, use a minimal amount of beads and be sure to mix it well - 1 minute to be sure the epoxy and beeds have fully mixed. Apply with a popsicle stick (cut thinner) down the hozel, and on the shaft - coat everything, and marry together, wipe clean , let sit.
    Good luck.
    Thanks, Dan

    Most club fitters are plagued with graphite dust under the cutter. Take a brush and sweep it into a glass jar. It makes the best filler for loose fitting shafts and is very very cheap. Plus your using the same materials that came from the shaft in the first place.
