If I do indeed get enough of it, I may followup on your kind suggestion, and that of FJBold1. As it stands now, I've been hanging around this forum for a number of years and find it quite interesting. I've learned a lot....and intend to continue monitoring it as frequently as I wish. So far, for example, I've learned form this most recent thread that SA2000 is not worth my time or money (A PERSONAL OPINION), because evidently it doesn't hold up very well, under even moderate temperatures. As I live in Southern California and often journey into Arizona with clubs in the trunk of my car, I'll not be using it.
Thanks again for enlightening me. Contrary opinions are always respected...

Does anybody actually use SA2000? That's been the only subject for about 3 days now. There must be dozens of good epoxies that don't break down at "trunk temperatures". Just use one of them.

As aptly mentioned by others here, Car trunks can exceed the 150 degree break down temp of the "super glue" alternatives. I have not used SA2000 but have used Royal Onyx in a pinch and have had one return, also from "trunked" clubs. This is from the Antelope Valley CA where summer temperatures can reach 110 deg. Obviously, I've stopped the practice even for emergencies due to the locale.
One thing that can help clubs in the trunk is to cover them with a towel (or two )or the club cover that comes with most bags. I've tried this both ways: covered and uncovered and it makes a difference.
Best,

Here is what I received regarding the SA2000 breakdown temperature. Much less than I would have expected.

Mr. Ed Reeder,
Thanks for your inquiries into the breakdown temperature of SA2000. The
bond has been breaking down at around 150degrees, plus or minus a degree
or two. This is great news if you are using it on graphite shafts.
Also, we have had several customers keep the clubs in their trunks, even
in Arizona, and haven't experienced drastic results. While I don't
fully recommend keeping clubs in the trunk, it should be ok.
Any further questions, please feel free to ask at any time.
