Are you talking about carbon inserts or inserts in carbon arrows? Never used Duco for carbon inserts,I use a two part epoxy for carbon inserts and inserts in carbon arrows.I only use Duco for fletching wood arrows with a polyurethene finish.I don't think it would be strong enough for inserts.

Carbon Inserts.

I typically use hot melt. Was curious though as if anyone has tried this.

Use low heat glue stick, works great. Never had one come out.

I had some aluminum arrows with carbons inserts and they kinda of melted alittle when I removed them to cut the arrows shorter.I just replaced those with aluminum.But I have installed new carbon inserts,and used the epoxy.

Duco won't work/last, it's made for fletching.

please use any of the following...

gorilla glue (either the super glue or the original)
or
2 part epoxy
