When gluing on broad heads to the adaptors, I have had good success using Big Jim's hot melt.

Yep...acetone....Q-Tip....and a little cone shape sand paper with epoxy makes the unit become one.

Hot melt works great...and is easier to remove head if need be....but I just don't really ever need the need to remove the head enough to use hot melt.

I also soak the adapters in a cup of acetone before I glue them up.

Always glue my own, feel better about it. I had this happen many moons ago - that is why I do my own and I haven't had a failure. Unless I rack one into a stone or brick wall or whatnot -- not that that ever happens to me    :rolleyes:    :D
Always be stubborn.

Wait til to poke that broadhead with a target point.  You will hear it
