Anyone use this instead of Ferr-L-Tite
Hot Melt Adhesive? I am wondering if how the this cheaper stuff preforms.
Bob.
All I've ever used for woodies and points/BH. Never had a failure. Make sure everything is clean/oil free and you're good. I also use it on inserts for glue-on BHs.
I have had Gorilla super glue failure (carbon inserts) but never craft hot melt.
Absolutely, all I use on aluminums, carbons, and wood. I buy the large sticks. Cheap and work well. I make sure to not skimp on the glue when installing points.
Thats all I've ever used on my wood arrows for both field points and broadheads:::Never had a problem :archer2:
I love fer-l-tite but sources dried up locally years ago. Being frugal, I started using the cheapest hot melt that I could find. I have lost a couple of field points in the bales, but it could be because I didn't clean the inside properly before gluing them on.
Pulled the tips off a 6 arrows in 6 shots using it. Don't know if they were not clean enough or what, but won't use it again.
I use a white colored hot melt that 3Rivers sells,I don't really care for Ferr-l-lite.It is too brittle,haven't used it in years.The white colored hot melt is stronger and holds better.
yep.
I built some woodies for a friend about 6 months ago. I got the shafts from Hildebrand and while talking with Neil he reccomended I try a stick of his hot melt. This stuff is great and is the best I've ever used. It works on my aluminums as well as woodies.
All I have used for lots of years
I got some wood glue sticks. Gonna give them a shot. Good luck here with the cheap stuff.
I use it all the time. Don't skimp on the glue, make sure its clean after the surface is prepped. I'm convinced prep is more of a key than what you decide to use.
same here i have used it for years.. have recently used sticks made by 3m used somehow in laying hardwood floors really good stuff !!!
works great on carbons
There goes my retirement plan.
I figured on buying a stack of it and repackaging at a hunnerd percent markup. Oh well, best laid plans and all that.
Killdeer :knothead:
I used hot melt for a few years and then switched to the jewelry glue sticks it works great never had an issue with for the past 6 years and hot melt use to cost me 3.00 a stick and I get 24 sticks of jewelry glue for 3.50
