Glueing Broadheads onto screw in adaptors

Yes, but have a cup of cool water nearby to cool the BH. I know it probably doesn't harm the hardness/temper of the BH, but the water eases my mind.

I had the same issue with Ferul-Tite.  I now use a stick of hot melt sold by Black Widow.  It's not quite as hard/brittle as Ferul-Tite and I've not had an issue since I switched to it. I sand the inside of the broadhead and clean it with acetone before I glue them up.

Now, the smaller or shorter BHA that Bear Razorheads need, I would use JB Weld or some form of epoxy. Too much Hot Melt and it could "push forward" when heated and head applied. This will make it difficult to install bleeder blades.

I think that may be part of my problem. I'm trying to get short 75 grain steel adapters to stick to 145 grain Snuffers. I'm not totally convinced there's enough glue to hold them. Plus they are a little hard to get to spin true without a little wobble. Maybe just me though.

No glue will work if furrel inside is not clean.

Also not the fault of the short adapter....not that much mass for a lot of glue on the narrowing end of the longs.  Plenty enough glue if done correctly with the shorts if all is clean and quality glue is used.

Clean inside of head and adapter with acetone, then jb weld.

I love Quick Stick Hot Melt.  I used a small hand saw to cut it in half and put it in an electric melting pot.  I plug it in, heat it up, use it, unplug it, let it cool, then put it away for the next time I use it.  For me, it has been much stronger than Ferrule Tite and it remains flexible instead of getting brittle.  Seems like I break fewer carbons while using it...maybe a shock absorber?

5minute epoxy works, just remember to take sandpaper and rough up the insert and the inside of the broad head to make a rough surface for the epoxy to fill.

Best stuff I have used.

I have been using a Two Part Epoxy / JB Weld looking stuff at the Fire House that we use to stick reflectors to the Street , so we can locate Fire Plugs at night. The Positive, never ever loosens, ever. Negatives, comes only in 1 Gallon Buckets.

Proper prep is assumed. With any glue or finish a proper preparation of the surfaces is a must, regardless of the application i.e. crown dip,house painting, floor finishes to gluing heat tiles on the space shuttle.

I use loctite!!!!
