Would you use JB Weld epoxy....?

[PaulDeadringer29]

For glue on broad heads? I'm gonna use some glue on BH's this year and have some JB epoxy on hand and just wanna make sure it'll hold.

[TxAg]

Heck yeah. Works like a champ.


Good luck ever getting them apart  

[Guss]

That's what I use..works great..!

[Canadian Idle]

That's all I use anymore...even on HIT inserts and footings on arrows.    

[TradBrewSC]

I use it for everything! Can't beat it.

[ron w]

Good stuff......  

[knobby]

Sure would. I just used it to re-attach a loose limb tip on an old recurve. Just make sure the broadheads are spinning true as the glue dries. Great stuff.

[PaulDeadringer29]

Great, I'm about to glue some up then. Broad head shooting tomorrow evening, hopefully.

[tom cunningham]

That will work great...but if you don't want to use a two part try 3-m 5200....a permanent, below the waterline saltwater marine adhesive...plenty good.....I have seen guys rebuild aluminum boats with it....and they don't leak as much!

[Jerry Jeffer]

all the time.

I have used JB Weld for years for my permanent archery gluing...as in after I have my point weights dialed in. This year I notice it is less durable. A friend in the chemical business told me that you can expect many adhesives to change....some kind of EPA nonsense that made everyone change the formulation. As a long time JB Weld advocate....I'm looking for something else...   :mad:

[Frenchymanny]

Good stuff but I like to use hot melt glue in case I need to make a change

Since the broadhead does it's work pushing in you don't even have to glue them, just push them on however I use hot melt so I can change or adjust them.

That is NOT good news.

I hope it's just a coincidence, but a couple of weeks ago I had a broadhead pull out from a JB Welded adapter while removing from my target. First time I've ever had a problem in the 2 or so years that I've been using JB Weld....

[tecum-tha]

Just use hot-melt. It is easy to remove or change angles on heads if necessary. It is also easier to align them. I see no advantage using a 2 part epoxy to glue on field points or broadheads.

[PaulDeadringer29]

My only problem with hot melt, is I have had inserts pull out in targets and I have used several kinds of glue and installed them very meticulously. I imagine bh's would pull out even easier when removing from targets. And i have been known to tear a target open to get my inserts back, lol, so I know I would definitely go after a bh!

I like the hot melt Braveheart sells. JB weld is to permanent for my tastes.

[Stone Knife]

You could probably make a broadhead out of the stuff

For my epoxy needs I have switched exclusively to 24 hour set epoxy. The slow cure type is the strongest and the only way to guarantee good results. I just happen to be using Loc Tite brand but I assume any slow cure make would be good.
