Before gluing the inserts in. Try a q tip with some denatured alcohol to clean the inside of the shaft.

Are you using a clean heat source, like a torch? Candles and such make the glue weak.

J-B Weld .... Clean the surfaces, inside and out..

The hotmelt will work too if everything is clean and dry..

Personally, I like epoxy..

Take a 22 calaber wire brush and score the inside up a bit. Only time I have had them come loose is if I hit something hard.All I shoot is aluminumn shafts and thats alot of shooting.
