Title: Glue for Ribtek question
Post by: TaterHill Archer on June 04, 2012, 10:31:00 PM
I ordered some Ribtek broadheads and now I need to mount them on an adapter.  I'm not partial to Ferr-L-Tite as I've lost some inserts and heads when using it.  Any suggestions for use on their unique ferrule?

For Ribteks I've always used Ferr-L-Tite formy Ribteks - one needs to build up the hot melt between the ribs so the BHs cannot move or pull off....

They are great BHs!

Shoot straight, Shinken

Who did you get your ribbies from?

I ordered them from Australia.  $1.50 each plus shipping.  Still cheap for some nice heads.

I've used two part epoxy for the last twenty odd years with my Ribteks and have found it excellent. Col, the maker of them, is a personal friend of mine so I have a good supply.    :D

JB Weld works well if you don't plan on moving them, once it sets up a little can use it to fill in between the ribs to smooth things out.

I was thinking JB weld.  I wonder if a 2-part epoxy putty would work.
