Heat gun or a butane lighter...

 

P -

With the low temp stuff, like Easton's, you can HEAT THE INSERT with boiling water.
I've always used the gas range in the kitchen, usually 10 - 15 seconds is enough to HEAT THE INSERT or to remove the insert.

Viper1 out.

 

The problem with low temp glue is my arrows often come out the target pretty warm from the friction, and I've lost inserts in targets, especially nice and new (dense) stops, as a result.

 

Just use proper hot glue (not low temp/hobby), make some scrathes with low grade sanding paper and clean all with alcohol and heat the insert with this type lighter:

Palaako hermot, kun et saa notskia palamaan paskalla kelillä? Tällä sytkärillä syttyy, vaikka taivaalta tulis mitä.

Add some glue to the insert and heat again little and then just push it gently in with little jiggle movement and let it cool down in peace. I use field point with pliers to assembly and also if you need to take it out, put field point on and heat that not the shaft.

 

I use a dental alcohol lamp, like this one at Amazon.
A quart of alcohol fuel cost $5 at the hardware store, lasts years.
It works great with Bohning blue.

I'll second the alcohol lamp. There is no substitute for the Kimsha (sp?) hot melt. That stuff is fantastic.

 

I just use tealight candles

 

Regular bic lighter for me

 

I use Bohning hot melt for inserts. Hit the stick with a good ol' bic lighter and it melts almost instantly, rub it around the insert and a nice blob of glue gets on there, push it in the shaft and you're done.

 

Also, if I had to pull out the insert for whatever reason like when the shaft is busted etc., I just dunk it in hot water for a bit to soften it up and pull it out with a pair of pliers. Comes off smooth and easy.

 

I have been using a 16.4 oz. tank propane torch for years with great results; heats quickly and the tank stands on its own letting both hands free to do the other work.

 

Heat gun or torch 100%

DNA lamp from 3Rivers Archery. Before that candles.

 

I just use a butane torch set on low, heat the insert, wipe a glue stick on it and seat it.

 

New inserts get points threaded in and toss in a skillet on the stove.

Propane torch to remove and reinstall.

 

Heat gun is all you need

 

DollarTree = q-tips, rubbing alcohol, crafts hot glue and lighter. Been doing it for years, never had a problem with my inserts. The green cap "gel" original super glue also works well for fletchings.

 

Add a small silicone mat to your setup. (like the ones used for baking) Great to have if a point is too hot to handle and falls on the table. It also prevents the butane torch from sliding around.

(I also use it as a base when using an arrow spinner = no skidding around)

 

Heat gun is what I use.

 

I literally used my kitchen stove! It worked great!

 

I use that gas canister for my Coman stove with a copper torch screwed on it. Make sure you turn it off when not in use and don't over flame. I use Stanly amber glue that takes a bit of heat. I suspect the Gorilla amber sticks do as well.

 

So many possibilities- I use a creme bulae torch uses lighter fluid and works well. I use the flexible glue sticks and have never had a point come out of the target.

 

Maybe you should try something else if they all stays in the target. 😅

I'd definitely stop using that then.

Oops I mean never had a tip come out pulling it out of the target Bad wording on my part. I shoot in all sorts of weather down into the teens sometimes and never had a problem with hot glue. Sorry for the confusion.
