Good show. Just remember: mineral spirits work very well, but evaporate fast. I always use a just a little more than required and spread it around on the tape to be sure it's slick.
Spirits always evaporate quite quickly, so you can usually play the clubs within an hour.
When using mineral spirits, the last step is rinsing the grips off with water because any spirits spilled on a grip can do a number on the it.
Before we get a bunch of "I don't wash grips posts," this is a newbie doing his first set who might not be as careful about spills as you experts who are doing their second or third sets.

Never heard of Wal-Mart? You are not supposed to drink the mineral spirits.
Reshafting is a little more involved (not much). Callaway shafts are not the best in the world to start with. I really don't like the "Memphis 10" steel shaft because it's designed to appeal to everyone.
If you can get a set of Callaways for next to nothing, and just need to reshaft them, that could be a great beginner project. Good steel shafts (new) can be had in the $6-$8 range and the best ones are only slightly more.
There are lots of people in the group who can help you reshaft here. All you will need for tools is a heat gun or torch (small propane one will do), a tube or pipe cutter (any hardware store has them), and some epoxy cement. I don't think you even need ferrules (the little plastic thing on top of the head) for Callaways.
Enjoy.

I read that quote last week, "> The object of Golf is to palce a ball 1 1/2 inches in Diameter on top> of a ball 7000 miles in Diameter and try to hit the small one and not> the bigger one.>
