After the recommended curing time you can test the epoxy by leaving a small amount on the mixing tray.  If the epoxy on the mixing tray is hard the club is ready to be handled.

DO NOT test the bond by twisting the club to see if it has cured, this will only weaken the bond.

It is recommended that the club is left to cure without moving it. If the club is moved during the curing process the bond strength can be reduced.

First you should only dispense enough to bond one club per mix.  Make sure you have prepared all the components before you start the mixing process.  Mix thoroughly for 30 seconds.  DO NOT remix or try to apply to additional clubs as the epoxy will have already started the curing process and although it may appear usable it will yield a weaker bond.

Dispense 1 inch bead line of both part A and part B per club.

Yes. If you have a loose-fitting shaft, glass beads will help center the shaft into the club head for consistent bond.  Note: Mix 2%-4% by volume of glass shafting beads with PRO-FIX Epoxy.   DO NOT EXCEED 4% ratio. Add during the epoxy mixing process.

Off-white when fully cured.

Yes, will bond all club materials including graphite, steel, titanium, composites, and wood.

PRO-FIX epoxies come in both double barreled syringes and cartridges. The 0.85 oz syringe comes with a plugger and removable cap. The larger cartridges require an epoxy dispensing gun. Before opening, rest the cartridge tip up to allow trapped air to rise to the top. Gently press to expel air and ensure epoxy is dispensing evenly from both sides. When finished pull back to release pressure before capping.

Recap and place in a resealable plastic bag. Store in a cool dark place.

Most bond failures are caused by not preparing all the components properly and not following mixing and curing instructions.  Below are some of the common factors that can cause bond failures.

1. When re-shafting a club make sure the neck of the club and hosel is properly cleaned.  Any residue from the old epoxy will leave a surface that will be detrimental to the bond.  Make sure all dust and any other containments are removed.
2. Make sure the shaft is properly abraded so that chrome or the lacquer on graphite shafts is removed and has a rough texture for the epoxy to grab onto.
3. Check the depth of the bore there should be at least 1” of shaft depth. Sometimes there may be residual epoxy that needs to be removed.
4. Make sure you leave the club to dry and cure properly at room temperature (72 F /22 C).

DO NOT handle the club until the epoxy has fully set or the bond will be compromised.

5. It is critical that equal amounts of Part A and Part B are dispensed. If too much Part A is dispensed it will create a weak rubbery bond and conversely too much Part B will create a brittle bond.
6. Not using enough epoxy to thoroughly coat both the inside of the hosel (club head) and the shaft could cause a bond failure. Remember there is only a small gap (.005 ideally) between the shaft and hosel. Also, use a twisting motion when inserting the shaft into the head as this will ensure proper coverage and help create a durable strong bond.
7. Too large of a gap between the hosel and shaft with decrease the structural and mechanical strength of the bond and this could lead to bond failure. A combination of glass shafting beads and shaft shims can be used to help bridge the gap.
