Make sure that the glue is evenly distributed around the taper. It's been my experience that that is what causes most alignment problems.

Make sure the ferrule is hot enough to make the glue run easily then twist it at least two complete revolutions before final seating.

This will make some guys groan, but I like to put the point on something like my vice in the shop and tap the adapter LIGHTLY with a hammer.

Not so hard that you deform the tip of the broadhead.

Using steel adapters you can be a little more "assertive".

It's the odd adapter or broadhead ferrule that doesn't match up with the other.

Ok got my heads glued on straight and test fired each one.  Very happy now except my 3d deer target is about cut in half.  There is no doubt in my mind these are going to be deadly!  They are not called "Flying Hatchets" for nothing.

Last question.  I sharpened up 1 head and also did the bleeder blade.  I had a tough time seating the bleeder blade without cutting myself.  Is there a safe way to do this?

Good stuff again Charlie on the glue .....I spIn my heads 4-5 times(I use epoxy), and then spin the arrow back off the adapter and have myself a look to make sure it's eveny dispersed before I seat it for spinning.

I do the same, hold my BH's with a pair of pliars and heat after applying hot glue to the adapter and spin it several times till it seats and spins perfectly.

I personally don't use epoxy on my BH's because it seems that there are very slight variances from arrow to arrow. I find that most can't be switched from one set of arrows to another....sometimes they just don't spin perfect....not sure if it's a not so perfect cut are a insert issue...

 I number the arrow and BH and only use them together.So if I take them apart (unscrew)for travel or something...I just match them back up...spin check again and good to go!

I've never had a bh come off an adapter using the hot melt I use.....

Easily heat reversible when needed.....

I got them from the pipeline job I was on....I'll send you some bud.

I want to get more for giving to friends and for own use. Thy're a 3M product that's used to repair dings in pipe before backfilling.

Awesome stuff for arrows...steel or alum. adapters or woodies....best I've ever used!

Working on getting more now....
