Looking for guidance in swing weighting a new set of irons (which have hosel weight ports), using graphite iron shafts which will not accommodate tip weights (core too narrow). I really don’t want to tamper with the shaft core … particularly when there’s a weight port already available.
Is there a good, secure way to add tungsten powder to the hosel port?
Can I just add the powder and cap it off with epoxy? Or make a sludge of epoxy/tungsten mix?
Thanks for any direction provided!

All instructions I have seen recommend the tungsten powder down the shaft of ASSEMBLED and into the bottom of the hosel and a cork with epoxy applied to the outer edge of the cork . . . use a ramrod to tamp the cork all the way down as far as you can get it . . . mark the ramrod to determine how far the down the cork actually is by removing the ramrod and comparing the depth on the outside of the shaft . . you should be able to get the cork all the way down to the hosel . . . . . much easier to rework if you ever need to reshaft . . . . if you’re talking about DIS-ASSEMBLING by pulling shafts , they do make ” Lead Shaft Tip Weights ” for graphite shafts and lead weights for the weight ports . . . . not sure what weight ports you’re talking about although I do recall Golfsmith clubs years back had weight ports in the bottom of the hosel beyond the point where the shaft met the shoulder in the hosel . . . . haven’t seen them in a long time
