Title: Is Goat Tuff heat reversible?
Post by: BobW on September 20, 2007, 08:36:00 AM
I managed to snap an aluminum bh adapter off.  Need to get the remains out of a WW bh (not the arrow).  Any body know if Goat Tuff is heat reversible?  If not, any suggestions?  I have some of the release agent, but doubt it will work as I don't think it will penetrate in that little space or make it in deep enough.

Thanks,

BobW

Yes it is.  Goat Tuff is all I use for my inserts and heads on my arrows.  I havent found anything that holds up better.  It takes a bit more heat that hot melt.

Its heat reversable but on my carbons by the time I got it hot enough to break loose it had made the carbon soft and it started to unravel on the end, had to cut a little off end of arrow..

lucky enough I working with a broadhead/insert, no shaft.....

Will an alc. burner produce heat to a point that tempering becomes an issue?

It shouldn't.  I use a propane torch for mine and cant say that I have ever had a problem with tempering my heads.
