You should try it yourself, just don't heat it up too long, or part of the shaft will pop forming a bubble. I use a heat gun, blow dryer takes longer and not as effecient.
Apply heat evenly on all 4 sides of the hosel (blade to shaft end). It'd also help if the shaft (lower end) is warm so it'd stick properly. Once all in, leave the stick standing with blade on the ground and let the glue set for a bit.

Thanks! I used a normal glue gun, but I'm not sure if it heated too long or not. I wanted to make sure it was heated all the way. It seems fine though. I also put a lot of tape around the joint.
And for anyone else interested in doing this: I put an ABS blade into a one piece composite shaft (don't ask me why). I did not want to put it in the butt end, and I did not buy a tapered blade, so I used a small belt sander and just slowly sanded the hosel until it fit. Just make sure it's nice and even. It was actually easier than I thought.
Thanks again for everyone's advice!
