Screw in eskimo's
« on: November 21, 2015, 06:00:00 PM »
Just got a few to try.  Shot 2 arrows into the "block" and one of the heads pulled off in the block.  I was able to dig it out. What's the best glue epoxy for putting it back on?

I use the stuff Big Jim sells, a hot melt. Or most any local shop will carry the ferrel tite hot melt, hope I'm not remembering the name wrong, if so somebody will clean it up hopefully.

I prefer two part epoxy for a permanent bond or low temp hot melt if I may want to change things up later.

I have always heard good things about the JB Weld as well but have never tried it as I was satisfied with the epoxy.

Hot melt or epoxy, be sure you clean out the ferrule and the adapter with some acetone or lacquer thinner. You'll be surprised the junk you clean out of there.

I use hot melt. Six to one half dozen to ther other.
Always be stubborn.

As mentioned, Clean the inside of the head and the adaptor before gluing. I use an old tap on the head and on field points before I glue.

Hot melt works just fine but you need to do 3 things. 1.Burn the oil out of the ferrule in the head. 2. Make sure you have enough glue on the insert and that it is spread evenly all the way around. 3. make sure the head is fully seated to the bottom on the insert. I always seem to over do it on the hot-melt but Ive never had a point come off and I don't really mind trimming off the excess glue. Glue is cheaper that broadheads.

I've done the same thing twice this year and I'm convinced the Ferrule-Lite is brittle and you just never know it because you're pushing in. When you retract the arrow there's no adhesion. I am going to start using 2-part epoxy.

I have found the two part epoxy that I use for golf club building to be far superior to any thing else I've ever used. I get it from Golfsmith or Maltby golf supply.
