I was looking at buying some epoxy from Canadian Tire to re-shaft my clubs. It is called 5 min. epoxy with a big 12 on it. Will this do the trick with my clubs? Oh it's $6

Saw your posts in the BST.

My advice is to call Golfsmith or order online. For building Fly rods i use rod builders epoxy - for building golf clubs I use Golfsmith epoxy with the shafting beads in there already - I used to use conap - which is allso "common" epoxy. Spend the extra $4 and not worry on the first swing at the range.

Ya, I might do that. Who sells the best epoxy (no problems with the stuff they have)????

I use Golfsmith - never had a problem with the epoxy they sell.

Golfsmith or Golfworks. I haven't used the one with beads, but maybe I'll order some next time. I get a preloaded dual syringe so all you do is push the plunger and you easily get the correct mixture ratio. Try these:

I've heard to avoid the "tour van" epoxy that cures in like an hour. Get the stuff that cures overnight, much stronger and longer lasting.

I have used the exact epoxy you are enqiring about for the last 2 years. Over 50 clubs and I have not had a problem yet. The price is right and it drys completely clear. The shear strength is as good as anything Golfsmith sells. Use your Canadian Tire money and it is free!

The bead stuff just makes plain sense as the sahft will self align. For an extra $1 it is well worth it. Plus a syringe can do like 5 sets if used properly.

One last thing - when you do one club use at least 3-5 CC to get a good mixture - do not skimp.

whatever you do, do not use royal onyx by golfworks. complete ass and altogether worthless

Many of the reshafts I do are "emergency type reshafts that guys want done right before they tee off. I use the 5 minute epoxy from golfsmith and have had no problems at all.

As far as the Royal Onyx stuff, I agree, totaly worthless for reshafting clubs. Very helpful however to redo Callaway Medallions and little things like that.

If you're serious about building golf clubs, you oughta use Bramptons. That's all we use at the shop. :D

Were do you get brampton?

Also were do you get that brampton grip stuff that is more of a goo than a solvent?

Thanks

I order from Mitchell golf. I use the Brampton quick cure and it is great! Very happy with the results!

That's what my club guy says too. Avoid the Quick Set. Use the other epoxy that takes longer to cure. It's harder and stronger.

The Bramptons 5 minute works great if you're in a hurry. We've yet to have any issues with it, and it's been in the clubheads of some pretty high swingspeed dudes, to say the least.

If you're not in a rush though, use the 24 hr epoxy. That's what the tour van's use, they just have a process to cure it faster. :D
