Removing glue from brass inserts
« on: January 22, 2010, 11:26:00 PM »
I have some brass inserts that either came out or busted off from my carbon arrows. Some have super glue, some have duco some have epoxy, what's the best way to clean them up!


Thanks!

Soak in acetone for about 15 minutes.  Put them in a small jar with a decent lid.  Acetone evaporate very quickly.  

Scrub w/toothbrush.  Don't reuse for teeth.

i heat them up over a gas stove. the glue will flame up and burn off leaving a black residue. when it stops flaming it's done. then just lightly sand the residue off. let them cool by themselves. not sure about brass but i know that quenching copper anneals it, (makes it softer).

hope this helps.
