Headhammer Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 I regripped some ladies Taylor Made graphite shafts this weekend that had used glue to affix the grip to the clubs. I didn't want to use a blade on the shafts so I just rubbed it with my thumb really hard to get it off giving myself a nice size blister. So what's your secret for removing glue from graphite shafts?

cnosil Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 Glue? That sounds strange. When removing tape from graphite shafts, I pull off what is there, a little heat if it is stubborn, and some goo gone to remove the sticky residue. Basically the same as for steel shafts.

dbdors Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 I have seen where TM uses a very thin double sided tape. It may look like glue since its a bit opaque. But heat to remove and wipe down with mineral spirits to get the residue off.

pulledabill Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 I use mineral spirits. Heck, you can use butter or peanut butter if thats all you have. The oils should cut the glue.

Kor.A.Door Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 Use heat, a hair dryer works very well for removing that stuff. PBH3 1 Quote Lefties are always in their Right Mind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rtracymog Posted February 13, 2023 Share Posted February 13, 2023 I know this was is an older post but I did some cutting down and regripping of a Strata box set today. The glue/thin tap came off easily on the painted part of the shaft, but the unpainted area was a pain in the ass. I thought about the goo gone, but I didn't have any at the house. Heat and mineral spirits didn't do the trick where it normally does. Thanks for the suggestions Spies!
