I use hot melt, and I never have a real problem. If the broad head does not spin true, I simply re-heat it and make the needed adjustments.

Im sorry...but isnt Ferrul tite sort of the holy grail here??

there are some things better left alone...

having some hot glue drip on your finger tips is sort of a right of passage...( and then figuring out how to avoid it next time)

Most two part epoxies release @ 200 Deg F.. They also release about 0F.

By far, the best adhesive I have found is PC-7 Epoxy available at any ACE Hardware.  It is really stiff so you can align and straighten the heads and it releases readily with heat.  Also, it is not as brittle as regular epoxy so it stands up to impact better.  I use it for all points on woodies.  The only downside is that it takes overnight to fully set up.
