Whats you guys opinions on different types of gluse ? I have been using goat tuff for the past 2 years, but have heard of people using loc tite super glue gorilla super glue etc. have any tried these I know you can get them at walmart for like 1/2-1/3 the price of goat tuff, do you think this will work as good for fletching, and especially inserts. Thanks for any input.

I've used the Goat Tuff and a few other brand name super glues and they seem to work about the same. Gorilla Glue Impact tough formula, Loc-tite Professional liquid and my favorite is Pine Ridge Instant arrow glue. The Gorilla Glue and Pine Ridge glues are a thicker formula than the more fluid Loctite. The Pine Ridge sems to set just a little quicker IMO than the others. All these glues have worked really well for me.

I've found that getting inserts to stay in a shaft is all about the prep. I use a .243 rifle bore brush and scuff the inside of the shaft, then I clean the inside of the shaft with a q-tip dipped in acetone before glueing in an acetone cleaned insert.

I really like the Loc-tite gel super glue. Dries nice with no nasty white film and holds perfectly. Also the one with the squeeze applicators is very nice. Shawn

I've started using Ferr-L-Tite Cool Flex Hot Melt by Bohning for inserts in carbons. I melt it easily with a heat gun. It will melt at around 200 degrees and makes alighning broadheads a breeze by simply putting the heads in boiling water and turning your inserts.

Loctite super glue gel! Great stuff. I use it for fletchings and inserts. Never had a problem and it is nice only using one glue!

Gorilla impact for nocks/wrapping on self bows - 420 locktite for repairs/cracks when refinishing/repairing vintage and self bows (awesome but expense stuff) and Ferr-l-tite (regular) for field/other points....

I have used super glue on inserts I think it drys too hard, its brittle on impact it has a tendecy to shatter an I have lost alot of inserts maybe I should stop missing so much.

Loctite Super glue works for everything, even glueing your fingers together.

I use on my Easton Axis with brass inserts low heat glue stick. I don't even have to clean the shaft. Never had one pulled out. Easy to work with and easy to remove. Fletching I use Platinum over wraps, nocks get Duco. I use wraps so if I mess a feather up I can reuse the shaft.

Super glue for inserts and fletching for me (and many other things).

Loctite super glue gel or gorrila super glue for inserts , had great luck with both . Have used both for fletching but normally use fletchtite platinum because it works great and you get alot more for the price .

I use Loctite that has a brush applicator for fletching. It can be hard to find but the brush makes it easy to get just the right amount of glue on the fletch.

I use the gorilla super glue for my inserts. It has some rubber in it, which allows for a little "give" when hitting a hard stump. DON'T USE IT ON YOUR FLETCHINGS! I put a dab at both ends of my feathers (I use fletching tape) and the glue expands when drying- creating a raised, sharp surface that snags. Had a few fletches rip off when my arrow went through a hay bale. Had to sand the rest down. Plain old Crazy glue worked better for this.

3m emblem adhesive from oreilys auto $11bucks get you almost a life time of glue just fill up a squeeze. Bottle and it works good and remember to warm it. I just take and get hot matter out pf the tap and drop my squeeze bottle in it get stuff ready and it's warm snuff it just takes a lil bit longer to dry but works good
