On page 38 of the latest Petersen's mag they have a quiz. One of the questions is;
When adhering carbon or aluminum inserts into todays internal component all carbon shafts, which of these is the most reccomended method?
Hot melt glue,super glue.fletching cement or melted bar soap
They say super glue. I thought super glues dried hard and would not take the impact of the arrow hitting the target without breaking loose. Am I wrong or are they way off base on this. I use 24 hour epoxy, what do you guys use and how well does it work? Thanks in advance for any answers.

I've been using super glue for many years with great results.

I use a bit of hot melt. Superglues dry hard and are tough to remove later if you want to cut down the arrow. Epoxies do the same. With hot melt just screw a field point in, heat the field point, and pull with pliers.

Thanks,
Rick

Don't do the stuff myself (YET), but I have a buddy who has been making his own arrows for a while and super glue is all he uses.

On Aluminum arrows, Hot Melt

On Carbon arrows, Epoxy

I agree with you, Top Cat.
That's what I've always heard.

But after this thread I might use super glue.

 

[tpoof]

used to be that hot melt was the ticket, nowa days I've been using superglue with my carbons once in,,they stay in!
Things were easier in the old days,,,it seemed ?:wink:

I used super glue on the dozen I built and no problems with them so far.

I use 2 part epoxy personally.

 

[sagecreek]

I use super glue on the inserts or nibbs and hot melt on the uni-bushing in case one gets tanked, I can change it out.

I haven't lost any points yet to R&W targets and that is saying a lot!

2 part epoxy here as well. I prefer the longer setting epoxy because it seems to be less brittle and I believe will take impacts better.

 

[Top Cat]

Thanks for the input guys. I just made a couple more arrows and I am going to try bondini super glue. If I lose an insert this weekend I will go back to 24 hour epoxy. I gotta admit I didn't think that many people used super glue. Live and learn.

Super glue works great but like you say it dries hard and your vanes will suffer after time
