What glue for nocks on aluminum adapters?
« on: March 28, 2015, 08:45:00 AM »
What glue is best for gluing nocks to aluminum? I am trying some nock adapters in 5/16 carbon shafts. What ever it is, I don't have it. I tried 3 different glues last eve. none seemed to work. I know Duco works great for gluing nocks to wood. Does it also work for aluminum? I wound up using some hot melt temporarily.
Thanks
Tedd

I have used fletch-tite, duco and superglue gel.  All with good results.

I use Fletch Tite or more recently Saunders NPV glue. I have also used the Gorilla Super glue in the blue top bottle.

I was having the same problem gluing the nock to the aluminum insert. I bought some Saunders NPV and it worked great!

Reason I mentioned the super glue. It can be had at local home store. I get mine at Tru Value Hardware.
I have not had an issue using the Gorrilla super glue on the Bohning nocks. I have heard of some glues softening some glue on nocks. I would test first.
