EPOXY reheat?

[Jrozzler]

i torched a club with the shaft still on. i could tell the epoxy was liquifying but after the club cooled down, it seemed to harden again, seems pretty stong. will i have issues with the head staying on?

Yes, you will have issues. Once the epoxy breaks down, it is not going to hold. If you saw a puff of smoke from the hosel, the epoxy is not holding the head on any more, friction is. You'll need to pull the head off, clean up the shaft and the inside of the hosel (get as much old epoxy off as you can), and re-epoxy it with a new ferrule.

Check the diameter of the shaft or check the vokey site.

Why did you do that and not pull the shaft?
