Temporary attaching inserts

I have some 100 grain brass inserts I would like to try with my CX Heritage arrows, but I'm not sure if they are going to work. Is there any way I could temporarily attach them, so if they don't work they could be removed?

Screw in a field tip. Grab the field tip w/pliars while heating (15-30 seconds) the brass insert with a propane torch (small blue flame). Rotate an Easton (or other) hot glue stick around the hot brass to spread on a thin layer.
Push insert into shaft hard & rotate half a turn. Drop shaft into plastic jug of water to cool 1-minute. Peel off excess glue ring at shaft/insert interface. Shoot the heck out of it. Re-heat field tip (not shaft or insert) wait 15-30 seconds for heat to tranfer into insert to re-melt glue. Grab tip w/pliars twist slowly out.

What I do is take some clear plastic wrap like the one that comes in a roll in your kitchen that you wrap food in and take a small piece and wrap the lower 1/2 of the insert and stick it in your arrow. Don't overlap the wrap or it will be too much. You can tap the brass insert into the arrow lightly if needed. I read that on here a while back and always do this when I am bare shafting. Works great. This way you do not have to glue until you have the right shaft length. If you have a super hard dense target it could pull out, but on the targets I use I have not had one come out.

I use pieces ripped off of a plastic grocery bag and "friction" fit my inserts while I am tuning.. I have never lost a point and have even needed to heat the field tip to remove with pliers...

I used the plastic idea and shot into a "bag type" target. Couldn't ask for it to work better.

I use hot glue sticks, no problems here. If I want to remove one, I put a field point in a vice, give it some heat, screw the arrow onto it and pull the insert out. Just dont get them to hot, and you will be fine.
