5.  What packaging sizes are available?
The following sizes are available for most shafting epoxies (certain restrictions apply):  30cc syringe, 50ml. cartridge, 4, 8, 16, & 32oz. poly bottle, gallon cans, 5-gallon pails and 55-gallon drums.  Other cartridge sizes available:  300ml. (150x150), 400ml. (200x200) and 600ml. (300x300).  (see Size Table).

6.  What is the cure color of an epoxy?
Shafting epoxies come in a variety of cured colors.  When mixing Part A and Part B of an epoxy together, the new color will represent the color when the epoxy is fully cured.  Shafting epoxies are available in black, gray, amber, ivory & clear.  (see Comparison Table)

7.  Do you provide custom/private labels?
Yes.  Certain minimums apply.  We can customize a label incorporating your companies name, contact information, optional bar-coding and company logo.

8.  What is the difference between set time (gel time or work time) and cure time of an epoxy?
The set time (also referred to as the gel time or work time) is the time necessary for the epoxy to become unworkable.  Shafting epoxies come in a variety of set times ranging from 5 minutes to 3 hours.  The cure time is the time necessary for the epoxy to fully cure and reach its maximum performance characteristics.  All shafting epoxies require 24 hours to fully cure. (see Comparison Table)

9.  What are the significant differences between 3243A/B & 8200A/B?
The 8200A/B epoxy maintains the same bonding characteristics of the 3243A/B epoxy.  However 8200A/B has a higher viscosity and is formulated especially for graphite shafts.  If you are working solely with graphite clubs then select the 8200A/B.  If you will be working with graphite and metal select the 3243A/B.

10.  What is significance of a higher viscosity versus lower viscosity epoxy?
The viscosity of a liquid is the measure of how well the material flows (i.e. its thickness).  When shafting, higher viscosity (thicker) material may prove beneficial in reducing the amount of movement when inserting the shaft into the hosel.

11.  What are the considerations for picking one shafting epoxy over another?
With so many types of shafting epoxies available, the question arises as to which shafting epoxy to pick.  When selecting a shafting epoxy, consider these characteristics:  cure color, set-time, viscosity, type of shaft and how the adhesive is being applied.  (See How to Select an Epoxy)
