When assembled. 370 head to .370 shaft, should I use beads or no? What’s the general rule on using them?

No need to, but you can. Sanding beads or the quick center sand can be used. If the shaft is a good fit it’s not really necessary, but some like to use it anyway. I will usually use just a little of the quick center to give the mix some body, but again, it is not necessary.

Micro spheres (shafting beads) create space between the hosel and shaft, so there is not a “starved” joint. With or without, be sure both surfaces are throughly wetted with epoxy. As Bret suggested, a little is always a good idea, but not required.
