How to fix a loose blade on a 2 piece

[Vinny_R 1]

Hi guys,

I looked into the forum to see if it was written about it but I have a question about 2 pieces sticks. First I have a AK 27 with a Easton wood blade. The shaft had a lot of blades changes in the 3 years that I use it. I tried the wood blade to costumize my curve and it worked great, but the blade went loose in the stick after the first game. So my question is, is it my blade that probably not fit in the shaft, or the blade that got damaged when I put it in the shaft, or my shaft got a little bigger with the warm-cold effetcs (like the old aluminium sticks)? I tried putting more glue but the blade got loose again. Is there a way to fix that with a wood shim or something like that? Can't wait for answers... big tournament one week away!

Put a piece of tape over the end before you put the glue on it, heat it and insert it.

Yep, exactly what Chadd said, works like a charm.
