Epoxy

[Fairwaysplitter3320]

Ok guys, I need some insight. I have been using Golf Works Tour Set epoxy. It says it sets up in 12 minutes (this I can confirm) and it completely cure in 60-90 minutes (I haven't tested this).

I want to slap the grips on and I use the wedge the club against a cabinet and slide the grip on method and I'm wondering if the 60-90 minute rule is iron clad or if I should give it overnight to cure.

What says ye???

How much twisting of the head will you be doing while installing the grip?

Time for an air compressor. So quick and easy with very little tension anywhere.

Not a ton but enough I'm a bit sketched out on it.

Yeah, I've been wanting to try the air compressor method. The new house will have a better golf lab.

Why would you even touch the head when installing a grip?

I bet you will be fine

I may just wait until morning, it'll probably be fine but I'd hate to break it loose. Thanks man!

Unless you have someone holding a gun to your head asking you to hit a golf ball immediately...I would just wait.

I prefer to use a 24 hour epoxy anyway...seems more durable in the long run.

I used to think the same way. Now I use the 30 min stuff. Never had an issue.

You're using epoxy to put a grip on? Why not tape?

lol, I'm using tape but I reshafted the irons yesterday evening and wanted to get the grips on last night too. Ended up waiting until this morning. Project is done.

"I see!", said the blind man.

I have. Almost all my buddies irons had to be pulled and re done with 30 min epoxy. Not saying it's not possible something else happened...could have been a bad batch of epoxy

Also...anyone ever get a minor creaking sound after reshaft?

Not when I do it right.
