need help with hot melt inserts please

[xtrema312]

Ferr-L-Tite works great in all my shafts with no issues at all holding or removing.  With Beman shafts i do nothing for prep.  The only shaft so far I have had to really prep much is the GT.  They are very slick in side.  A little sand paper or light work with a rat tail file is all that is needed with those.  I don't even bother wiping them out with anything, but that helps I am sure. I just give them a little blow off air. Just using acetone wipe didn't do it for me with the GT shafts without using the paper or file first.

I use the plain jane hobby glue gun glue stick, I do not do any prep to the shaft, I shoot CE.

When glueing in the insert I have a field point screwed into it, I heat the glue and apply it liberally, then I reheat the glue on the insert to get it into all the groves. I insert it into the shaft in a spinning motion. I then heat the field point near the shaft and wipe off any excess glue. Unless your shooting cinder blocks repeatedly this method works just fine and takes minimal time.

The Easton HIT epoxy and AAE two part epoxy are the best.  They have a 24 hour cure time and never break.  I figure if I'm going to spend that much on shafts I do not want to run the risk of damaging them when putting installing inserts.  I've been shooting the MFX and some Carbon Tech shafts.  I'd rather do it right and wait a day.

Once again,Big Jim's video is a great how to and his glue is as good as he says it is.I prefer hot melt as the brass inserts are easily removed from broken shafts.
