Not really. When I did mine I glued 'em, keeping the stickers uniform, and set 'em against the table in order with all the soles flat on the floor. Clean the hosel well so you can give the shaft a spin for complete coverage.

Good question! i've always set mine with the clubhead sitting on the floor, basically like you would have it at the address position. this keeps the epoxy fron running down the shaft on the inside.

Cool

I stand the clubs up with the heads in front of the heating vent in my shop, so the epoxy cures better, especially now that the weather is so much colder. Epoxy cures better, and fast with a little extra warmth, and the hot air register in your home works great for this.

Same position I use taking care not to skew the shaft in the hosel (uniform distance around for a parallel tip).

I don't have to worry about that, because I use shafting beads to help center the shaft in the hosel. Works great for this, and I've got a 50 pound bag of them in my garage.

Vertical with the head down so no epoxy can run up the shaft.

Pretty much. I use the same material to "bead blast" parts that I make and to clean up old golf clubs. Bead blasting gives things a nice "mat" finish that I like. Much better than shiney.
