It's real fine sand, probably  better know as silica sand. As I see it, if you try to fill up the void with epoxy alone it will eventually crack and the head will loosen. The sand works well to prevent this from happening...been doing it for years. df   ----- Original Message ----- From: Jeremy Ingle To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, August 29, 2003 10:08 AM Subject: Re: ShopTalk: SA 2000 contact info Don. What exactly is sugar sand?

Or is the reason I have more loose alumimun heads than SS is because they are cheaply made? Or is it the trunk factor?Pat McGoldrick--On Target Golf  ---- Original Message ----- From: Al Taylor To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, August 26, 2003 11:32 PM Subject: RE: ShopTalk: SA 2000 contact info  Well if the rule of holding a head on the end of a shaft doesn't apply, it ain't no good anyway.  If it breaks down much lower than epoxy, it ain't no good again because it breaks down at car trunk temps then.

That is what I think too. I've had epoxy fail in south Florida in the summer when the clubs have been in the truck. Just wondering if the improper mising of the SA2000 was also a cause.

After using a blowtorch to remove heads bonded with SA2000, I have noticed a residue of whitish crystals on the shaft. A few days ago there was a failure on two irons. An eight iron flew off the shaft and into a lake and a seven iron head could be twisted off easily by hand. On the seven-iron shaft I did not notice any residue. The shaft looked as if part A had been applied and was ready for Part B. I did of course use Part B. Can anyone tell me what might have happened? The clubs had been stored in the trunk of a car on a day in which we broke 100 degrees.

I just received a letter from David Bushman. They have relocated to SC and are looking to more aggressively market SA 2000. They are in relations with CA Plus he notes. www.ca-plus.com 701 Kingsbridge Rd Columbia SC 29210 [EMAIL PROTECTED] 803-798-8661 He noted he is hoping to have a prescence at the PCS show in March. He also sent his appreciation for those that kept tracking him down through his many moves. There are MSDS and TDS forms online.
