what kind of glue for Gold Tip shafts

[joekeith]

I've always used hot glue on mine.  No problems.

[Reaper TN]

I have used Pine Ridge instant archery glue (super glue) and the Gorilla Glue Impact tough super glue with good results.  I also use a rifle bore brush and then clean with a q-tip with some acetone on it before gluing insert.  Two part epoxy works the best though.  Big Jim has a new type hot melt that looks like it should work great.  Check the video out on his website

i always use slow set epoxy on all inserts, carbon and alum.  have been doing so for at least 50 years and never lost an insert.  ever.  i use naphtha to clean both before gluing and a bit of 120 grit to rough up the insert outside and tube innards.

on big jim's site he has a video of him gluing inserts with a hot melt,then trying to pull the arrows out of an oak tree,check it out,thats the stuff i would buy!

That stuff Big Jim uses is Kimsha quick stick and works GREAT on GT's.

[SuperK]

Amen, Americanhunter7!  It does work good and it's heat reversible!

Do the bore brush thing, then swab out the shaft with a q-tip and acetone. Dip the inserts in acetone. Use some Loc-Tite 2 part marine epoxy (buy it at Lowes or Home Depot). Stand the shafts up over night insert down.
JB weld does OK but will come out, any type super glue will not hold.
If you could get some of the Easton 2 part epoxy they send for those HIT inserts it will never turn loose.LCH

I found surface prep important as well with the GTs shafts.

I dont even need to prep the surfaces if I use goat tuff and I only practice with broadheads. Have never had one come out, but they came out all the time when I used hot melt.
