Ok, so idiot here (me) ... is trying... to build some clubs (1st timer)

Yeah, the first grip solvent I tried was gasoline.    But the Golfworks and Golfsmith grip solvents seem to have less "chemical smell" and nicer to work with.

Aske,

I look forward to hearing how they turn out.  Given your advanced education, you've got to be pretty anal (many call me anal - my wife just calls me an ass).  This is a good thing, I've found, in club-making.

Measure twice, cut once.

I've built about 15 sets now - fun and addicting.
