Adhesive for bonding steel inserts and glue on points.
« on: July 11, 2021, 02:04:34 PM »
Besides  JB Weld , is there anything that one can use to bond these 2 together? Will hot melt from 3 rivers or loc tite gel superglue work? Suggestions

 Ferr-L-Tite or something like that .
Several options.

I've been using Big Jim's low temp hot melt with great success.
Stay sharp, Kenny.

I use Gorilla hot melt.

Big Jim's, I have used it on carbon, aluminum, and wood. Easy to use and works great. Big Jim has a video on how to use it you should watch it.

Bohning Coolflex is what I use.  I dont know that I've lost a point with it yet.  With the amber colored stuff I've lost points on cold days after hard impacts, but not with the Coolflex. Melts a lower temps, and seems to bond everything well.
