Would that be Jamemison's that you're drinking as "lot's of alcohol" to get good results there buddy? No wonder you called me with crooked cresting line questions last week?!  :biglaugh:    ;)

Used that Big Jim's Quick Stick and a lighter to repair some leaks in a jon boat - and it held up with 3 guys in the boat - should have done an infomercial!  It is a little softer, so it seems to hold better.

All the above advice, PLUS: after cleaning the point, heating it and rotating it after gluing, hold it on the arrow with pliers and run it under cold water for several seconds while still hot and positioned.
Made a huge difference for me. I use ferrule tire, and was losing points all the time. Since being careful to clean and cooling the tip, I haven't lost one- in targets or stumping ( and they take a beating stumping around here!).
Good luck- you'll get 'em solid.
