Are you guys shimming replacement handles at all? I have a new handle that fits but with a very tiny amount of wiggle room. Wondering if the epoxy will fill it in enough or if I should maybe put a layer of tape on the handle... thanks. And yeah, Exiled, I screwed up the handle on the QB... I am an idiot. Found a nice carbon fiber handle on amazon for $15, looks pretty good. Aloha.

I probably don't want to know what you did.
Epoxy will probably be fine, but there is always Gorilla glue for the easy answer for all your wiggle problems.
The wiggle was super tiny and I forgot how thick and gooey the epoxy is. Seems to have set up just fine...so what I did: I was working with a screwdriver/hammer and chipping away, accidentally busted into the handle material. Probably was still okay but decided to just start fresh. We'll see how strong my amazon.com carbon fiber handle is! Feels good so far... see ya in the morning, waves seem fun.
