Im going to be putting collars on, and im needing to know what is the best epoxy for use on aluminum collars/footings on carbon arrows?

My choice for footings and inserts is Golf Shaft epoxy. A two part, slow cure epoxy that can take shock of arrow hitting objects. I get it from Golf Smith

Golf shaft epoxy has also worked well for me in the past, it comes in fast or slow set, slow set is better I feel. My last ones I used the hot melt from Big Jim's and is working well so far.
shoot straight shoot often

Ive had good success with garden variety Loc Tite two part epoxy from Home Depot. I also prefer slow set.

Years ago when I was a serious golfer I used to make a lot of my own clubs and the epoxy is basically the same.

I've had very good success with JB Weld. I abused my stumping arrows and never had a problem with a footing coming off.

Longtoke

I had hotmelt fail on me, but never had any problem using whatever slow cure, high strength epoxy I could get from the hardware store.

The fast cure stuff might work well too, just havent tried it.

I use 2 part gorilla glue epoxy. It's cheap and holds very well.

Primitive archery gives yourself the maximum challenge while giving the animal the maximum chance to escape- G. Fred Asbell

Like others just run of the mill, 2 part slow setting stuff. No problems, and I am not very nice to my arrows at times.

Are you guys using the regular JB weld, or is there a JB Weld epoxy? Did I mention this is for carbon arrows?

old_goat2

I've only used JB Weld! Preparation makes all the difference I feel! Yes on carbons and I used just regular old two part JB Weld

Various bows, but if you see me shooting, it's probably a Toelke in my hand!

Ok great, thank you Mr. Achatz. How are you liking your whip?
