Im going to be putting collars on, and im needing to know what is the best epoxy for use on aluminum collars/footings on carbon arrows?
My choice for footings and inserts is Golf Shaft epoxy. A two part, slow cure epoxy that can take shock of arrow hitting objects. I get it from Golf Smith
Golf shaft epoxy has also worked well for me in the past, it comes in fast or slow set, slow set is better I feel. My last ones I used the hot melt from Big Jim's and is working well so far.
Ive had good success with garden variety Loc Tite two part epoxy from Home Depot. I also prefer slow set.
Years ago when I was a serious golfer I used to make a lot of my own clubs and the epoxy is basically the same.
I've had very good success with JB Weld. I abused my stumping arrows and never had a problem with a footing coming off.
I had hotmelt fail on me, but never had any problem using whatever slow cure, high strength epoxy I could get from the hardware store.
The fast cure stuff might work well too, just havent tried it.
Big Jims hot melt here.
I use 2 part gorilla glue epoxy. It's cheap and holds very well.
JB weld all the way
Like others just run of the mill, 2 part slow setting stuff. No problems, and I am not very nice to my arrows at times.
I use JB weld

Are you guys using the regular JB weld, or is there a JB Weld epoxy? Did I mention this is for carbon arrows?
I've only used JB Weld! Preparation makes all the difference I feel! Yes on carbons and I used just regular old two part JB Weld
Ok great, thank you Mr. Achatz. How are you liking your whip?
