ive used this with great results gluing inserts in carbons. Has anyone used it to glue alum or steel broadhead adapters to broadheads and how'd it hold up?
It's all I'm using. I've shot it into my targets,and on live animals. I haven't had any trouble.
Works great with no issues.
I use it for brass/ aluminum inserts to carbon arrows and steel inserts into broadheads, cant recall ever having a problem. Seems like good stuff to me.
Best glue I have ever used for inserts, but I have not used it for adaptors to broadheads, so I can't comment on that application.

Best glue I have ever used also I will not use anything else. Widow
Works great with points on wood also.
It all i use for carbon and aluminum, great glue. Still using my old Hot Melt glue for wood, which i barely shoot anymore.
Works great!
No problems on any applications that I have done.
good stuff-no problems :thumbsup:
The feedback that I have received is that it is great for all three types of arrow materials (carbon, aluminum, and wood) and steel to steel also.
thanks, bigjim
I have used it with both the aluminum and steel adapters into points without any issues. I also use it for both aluminum and brass inserts.
Best point glue on earth in my opinion.
Thanks. I will be switching from the old yellow stick to big jims for all my applications. I have had the yellow hot melt loosen and I clean things pretty good before gluing... I know for sure how well big jims glue works on inserts--- I beat the snot out of my stumping arrows and it holds...
Big Jim's is the best glue of all time , just keep it away from the dog. Lets just say I had to buy more after my dog got done taste testing mine , and no his butthole didn't get glued shut as I wished.
It's all I use, good stuff.
But how does it hold up in cold weather?
Past exoerience with OTHER hot melt glues in near/below freezing is that the glue can shatter and cause total release of inserts, points and glue-on heads.

I have had no issues in the cold
It does not get brittle like some other Hot melt styles. Before using this glue I had lost tips every winter. I have been going 3 years without a tip loss due to glue Failure.
Many tx for cold weather assurances.

Last time I checked Big Jim carried two types of hot melt, which one is everybody talking about?
quick stick hot melt glue
up top for anyone who has not tried this glue , its the best.
Use it year around. Never had a problem.
I've tried this glue and it turned out to be the worst insert glue I have ever used. Maybe I did it all wrong :dunno: but the inserts would come loose pulling the arrows outta my targets. So now I just use 2 ton epoxy from the local True Value Hardware store and no problems.
Screamin, you've got to be kidding me. Did you get it from me? Which one did you purchase? I actually carry three. ferrel tight, blue ferrel tight, and bigjims quick stick.
I can only speak of the ferrel tight and quick stick as I have never used the blue.
The ferrel tight will not work well or at all on carbons.
The only time I have ever seen a problem with the hot melts is on CX shafts when they weren't cleaned first. They have a mold release on them that should be removed first for best adhesion.
Other than that, if you had problems, it wasn't our glue or it wasn't done properly...sorry.
BigJim
nope not kidding. It was this one

you had a video up at the time on how to use it and you shot a few arrows into a tree and then tried to pull them out. Looked like great stuff at the time so I ordered it. sorry but it don't work for me.
screamin not sure why you had less than good results with it as it's proved to be a great product for me and a host of other Gangers.
Thats one I used. Heat, freezing cold, rain, snow with out a problem. Just be sure and rough up the inside of the shaft and clean with acetone. Also clean the insert with acetone as well. I heat up the glue and rub it on the insert (I put on alot of it). I install a field point in the insert to give something to hold to and not burn your fingers. Then grab the field point with pair of pliers and hold it over the heat ( I use the gas kitchen stove) until the glue melts again. Then quickly push it in the arrow shaft. The final step I dip the end of ghe arrow in cold water. It seams to set the glue faster. Then pull off the excess glue.

x2, best I have used. I clean with denatured alcohol since I have it for the alcohol burner I use. Don't touch insert with fingers, can leave skin oils on it and weaken the bond. I agree with dipping in cold water so the heat won't effect the resin in the carbon shaft and weaken it.
