Quick question about glue

[cptjeff 0]

nah, that ain't it, they all have good fits and I use tape on the tenon, maybe I'm exaggerating re-gluing every couple of games, I like to curve my blades (xxx-lite blades rock) but generally its a feel thing, like when I really lean into a snap shot or slapper and the feeling I get is the tenon hitting the inside wall of the shaft if that makes any sense? I've never really used two-pieces before preferring woodies and ops' so I suppose that might be a trade-off for having the whole wood/carbon set-up.

anyway thanks for the response and now for my tinkering mind, blue loctite, do you think it would work, or fail miserably?

Grab the blade of the stick...not holding onto the shaft and give it a shake. If it wiggles...its loose. If not..your good and there's really not a whole lot you can do to improve anything.

I've had some trouble getting a blade to stay in my XXXX shaft. I dunno if it was overheated or what, but I've tried 3 different tapered blades (including the XXXX tapered blade) and a couple kind of glues, and the tape on the tenon trick without any success. After every couple games the blade would come loose. May not have been the best idea, but I used some industrial strength epoxy. The kind in two tubes you have to mix together. And loaded that on there. Obviously the blade will never come out again, but after a few weeks its still in there solid and I haven't snapped the stick at the tenon like I expected. .. I'm sure everyone will have a few colorful opinions on that idea though :P

Colorful idea #1- should hold very, very well. You made a OPS- when it breaks there's no way you're getting that blade out of the there.

Before I give this a try tonight does anyone have an reasons why it would be a bad idea? (Other than the fact that both blade and shaft will be semi-permantly bonded).

I have epoxy I use to build golf clubs in my basement that should work perfectly. I think the stick I am planning on using is cut a little too high up and the blade gets loose after using it on ice for a bit.

I guess if I do destroy the blade eventually I can try and pull it after using the same technique for pulling golf shafts but more than likely the high heat will destroy the integrity of the shaft materials.

bad idea, epoxy is permanent.You won't be able to get the blade out if you need to change it. This is not rocket science, use hot glue for glue guns. There is a reason it has been used for ever. If the blade is loose put a little tape on it before you glue it in.

Not necessarily, depending on the type you use the bond will fail at a certain temperature. People have gotten plenty of blades out of OPS's using heat from what I've read. The problem with heating and removing graphite golf shafts (I bet its similar with a composite shaft as well) is that any torquing while the shaft is heated up can seriously weaken the shaft so it needs to be pulled straight out which can be difficult.

Since both blade and shaft are throwaways for me anyways I don't mind trying this on them. If it was a brand new blade and top of the line shaft it would be hot glue all the way.

Something consider is that the carbon in the shaft is bonded by epoxy as well. Depending on what was used to make the shaft, you may destroy that part of the shaft if you heat it up enough to break the bond of the epoxy.

Hey all,

I was just randomly searching you tube and I found this bit with peter sykora, if you look at the spot where he is putting in the butt end of his stick, the glue he's using is black... what the hell kind of glue is that? and secondly, where can I get it?
