« on: March 01, 2012, 11:37:00 AM »

If it has glass or phonlic in it URAC won't work. Don

URAC has great gap filling properties, but it's for wood to wood only, not for glass like Don has stated.

Get some Defcon 30 minute two part epoxy Dave, works great and gives you some wiggle room if you want to make adjustments before it cures.

Thanks guys!  Got some Defcon epoxy....I was stoked that I got the sleeve to billet at such a good tolerance....Doesn't always go that way with me...By the way the Krewson fix is holding great Eric!  Shot it yesterday.  It's still my favorite!

When gluing metal to wood I have had excellent results with MT-13.
The broadhead used, regardless of how sharp, is nowhere as important as being able to place it in the correct spot.
