Insert glue

[BUCKY]

What do most of you use for brass inserts to carbon shafts?

[lpcjon2]

For my other style bow I used Ferrel cement for my inserts and they hold tight,never had one come out!

[KentuckyTJ]

For the Easton Trad Only's I simply use the hot melt glue, for Gold Tips the hot melt doesn't hold the inserts in and I have to use epoxy. So it depends on the internal makeup of your shafts.

I lost four inserts today in my gt's. One was hot melt, and three were superglue.  I'm going to use epoxy next. I hear it works well.

I switched to JB Weld, used epoxy and heard a few complaints.  Been using JB Weld for several months now.

I lightly score the inside of the shaft with a chainsaw file.  I also score the inserts with sandpaper so I am glueing to fresh metal.  I clean both surfaces with acetone on a Q tip.  Surface preparation is probably the most important step with all bonding.  Chad

I go with the Hot Melt.Easy removel when and if you want and hold great for me!!

[EricW]

so far have had good luck with Gorilla brand super glue

[Yellow Dog]

Does JB Weld work for broadheads to screw on inserts? Does it "release" with heat?

[JRY309]

The key to getting inserts to hold in is to properly prep the shafts and inserts.I etch or scratch the inside of the shaft with a brush,then I'll scratch up the brass insert with sandpaper.Then I clean everything with alcohol and let dry a few minutes.Then I'll mix up a two part 24 hr epoxy and install the inserts,never lost any inserts with the proper prep.I don't use heat on my carbons,there is not a carbon arrow maker that recommends using any kind of heat on their carbon arrows.

I use hot melt and haven't had any problems.

Gorilla glue.

[Jerry Ragle]

clean inside shaft with denatured alcohol (use q tip)and gold tip tip grip

[Kris]

I use Kimsha Quick-Stick.  Hot glue because you can change out your inserts should you decide to use a different weight or for whatever reason.  I have had a good track record with this system and brass inserts in Beman MFX shafts.

I use superglue, but I first clean the inside of the arrow with alcohol , or the insert will eventually pull out.

Gorilla glue.  Mark the inserts where you want them rotated to for your broadheads.  Clean and apply the glue.

Set the insert in with a fieldpoint and put the arrow in the corner, point down the gorilla glue from pushing the insert out.

Epoxy, hot melt, superglue, and jbweld have failed me.  Gorilla never has...

[SS Snuffer]

Hot Melt on Axis arrows works good!

[LCH]

That Devon 2 part 24 hour epoxy is the best but I can't find it anymore. JB weld works good but I have found that the Loc tite waterproof 2 part epoxy works good. I get it at Lowes and Home Depot.LCH

I tried it and ruined 2 dozen arrows...glue pushes through the insert in the back and fills the threads.  I regret ever getting carbons and gorilla glue.

I've had good luck with hot melt.
