broadhead cement

[Beanbag]

Guess this is going to sound a little neophyte but I've never used glue on broadheads.always screw ins. Just ordered some grizzlys' and not sure what I need to glue them on. Epoxy,ferrule cement, ??. what's the best to use. Thaks Jim G

Try the Hot Melt craft glue stick it works great!
Low cost too! You can buy the sticks at Walmart or craft stores cheap.It stays plyable when cold out and is easy to reheat for head removal.Standard hot melt glue is brittle when cold.

Just a freindly tip<

Watcha gluing them to?  For wood I've always used hot melt Ferr-L-Tite with good results.  Use alcohol or other solvent to clean the oil out if the point's ferrule first.

Have that stuff, didn't think it was tough enough,need to give it a try Thks Jimg

I'm gluing screw in steel adapters into the broadhead JG

I use Devcon 5 minute epoxy to attach my 125 grain Wensel Woodsmans to a 75 grain steel screw in adapter. Wal Mart, Home Depot etc.  Just a little heat from a propane torch on the steel adapter and they will come loose if you ever need to.

Epoxy here, too. I like not having to juggle hot points,  molten glue, and a flame.
Whatever you decide to use, the key to success is cleaning the internal taper perfectly before gluing.

I use ferr-l-tite for just about all arrow components except fletching.

Ferr-l-tite for me too.. If you wanna change heads just heat it up and remove.

Another vote for Ferr-l-tite!!!

The yellow Ferr-l-tite can be a little brittle for me, I like the white ferrel cement for fishing rod tips. It works best for my gluing point needs.

Ferrlite hot melt is good if you ever decide you want to change them out, or for any other components on the tip of your arrows that you may want to take off someday. If you intend to leave them on all the time without any possibility of taking them back off, then go with epoxy.

Kimsha Qwik Stic hot melt. Great stuff doesn't get brittle easy to remove and clean up (if you happen to make a mess).

any form of hot melt adhesive will never be 100% secure under all conditions.  this doesn't mean it's bad, just that it does have limitations (no matter what the type of hot melt).

my choice of superior point adhesive is always quality slow set 30+ minute epoxy (not the 5 minute type, which is water resistant and not waterproof).  all epoxies can be undone with heat - not excessive high heat that will remove blade temper, just long and slow, and directed at the ferrule or screw-in point adapter.  

no matter what adhesive used, the ferrule must be cleaned out with a strong solvent.

I have always wondered how you clean up a point to be re-used if you use epoxy and then break an arrow?  Especially if it is a broadhead

[reddust]

30 minute epoxy works best for me,I used to use the hot melt type but have had times when it did not hold.

[speedbump]

I use epoxy as well, never had one come off even hitting bones etc. Only down side is it is a little more difficult to changeout the head as others already pointed out....lots of options for you to try.

.22 or .38 caliber wire bore brush for gun cleaning and a cordless drill. Put the brush in the drill chuck and have at it. A little solvent(acetone) will help break it up.

Great info,  I have used every glue mentioned here and even some others not mentioned, on other projects, at one time or another. I think I'll try a couple and see wich one I like best.I guess after the heads are in and out of the cold/rain/snow a few times is what makes the difference in glues. Thanks Jim G

Gorilla glue. Works wonders and I don't worry about my heads coming off.
