Last time I glued in some insets I used I think it was called goat glue. Worked great but very expensive. What are some other glues that work that I can use. Thanks
I use hot melt.
Britt I've been using Gorilla Glue for the past 4 years with very good success. cheap too.

Goat Tuff is a bit expensive but works good. Have also used hot melt, epoxy.
For aluminum and wood I use a hot melt(not Ferr-l-tite),for carbon I use a slow cure 24 hr. two part epoxy.
I'm using the round cylinder block shaped hot melt glue from Kustom King Archery. I lasts for years and it's a much softer (less brittle than Ferrule-Tite). I use it on wood arrows or with my Easton Axis carbon inserts with no problems whatsoever. It allows me to change out the inserts on the carbons if needed.
Ferr-L-Tite low temp.

It is the blue stick stuff. Great for carbons. You heat the insert, apply a bit of glue and insert into the arrow. If you want to remove them or turn them for blade alignment, heat the threads and shank of the point and screw into the insert. The heat melts the glue and you can pull or turn them. No need to apply heat directly to the arrow shaft and risk damage to the carbon arrow. We used them on various wood arrows and so long as you clean the oil from inside new points, they don't pull out in the targets.

Big Jim sells a great glue. Go to his site and watch his video and see how easy it is to use, and how strong it holds.
Ferr-L-Tite . :thumbsup:

x7 on Big Jim's hot melt.
When I order from Big Jim, I let him do the gluing, so it is his hot melt. When I have to do it myself, I use two parts epoxy with a cure of 24 hours. Works great too!
Fer-l-tite for aluminum and Insert Iron for carbon. Both with excellent results.
JB WELD on my stuff and its something you can get at any hardware store.
I need to try Big Jim's glue
I've tried Gorilla Glue and it was ok. Been using epoxy and it's the strongest thing I've tried but it's basically permanent
I use garden variety hot glue sticks from the crafts section.

This is the best thing since sliced bread for carbon arrows! I switched to this about a year ago and have not lost a single insert since! Also, I can easily remove the inserts if needed.

I get hot melt sticks at the local lumber yard...they are made for carpentry applications, and I have yet to have any problems...they come in bags of twenty or so sticks, each stick is around 10 inches long...bag costs around $6 (about a lifetime supply)
I have no idea how it would work on carbon arrows
