Has Duco changed ?

So you have used the Saunders glue on the Bear Paw nocks and it worked OK ?

I ran out of Duco and while waiting for some to get here tried 5 min epoxy with classic nocks on wood shafts with poly, next day they all popped of with slight pressure applied duco yesterday and am hoping that it will stick to the epoxy...PR

My experience with Duco is that it "fuses " to the plastic nock. Look close and you will see where the Duco actually melted the plastic around the thin edge. With these nocks the plastic looks as slick and untouched as when before you glued it. If they are "chemical resistant" as advertised.... well... ? And when did a nock being chemical resistant mean anything ? Am I shooting thru a haz mat site ?

Why don't you just glue on a different brand of nock and see if you have the same problem? That should tell you something about what is or is not going on.

There you go, it's the nocks not the Duco. You say the nocks are "chemical resistant" then the Duco isn't fusing or melting the nock to the shaft.

That's what I was going to tell ya to check.  Duco works by actually melting plastic then letting it harden again as the chemicals evaporate out of it.  When I glue on say a green nock and the little ring of glue is forced out of the nock, if I wipe it off with a finger I get green color because some of the green plastic melted out with the glue.  If a nock is impervious to Duco, it may still be a great nock, you just might have to use another glue.  Probably super glue would work well but most likely not over bare wood.  Super glue would work better on a painted or clear coated surface.  I wouldn't knock the nock just because it don't work with duco.  It may be a really tough nock.

I've come to believe that the keys to shooting well for me are good form, trusting the bow to do all the work, and having the confidence in the bow and myself to remain motionless and relaxed at release until the arrow hits the mark.
