five minute epoxy works well also . the key to good adhesion on any point is surface prep clean the in side of the point with a good solvent the oil from manufacturing  sometimes will not allow the point to sick as well as it should . duco is not strong enough .bohning has a good product it does well if they do not change it .

I've always used hot melt. I have found that Tusker heads have a lot of residue that needs cleaned out before gluing. But hot melt still works if I clean them well. Gary

Been using a 5/16" X 20 tap (thread cutter) in all of my field points and blunts for that past few years.  Hot melt as the glue and haven't pulled off a point since in anything including trees/wood.  Screw the point down after applying glue and heat and don't have to deal with points popping off because of heat or too much glue and don't have to use water to cool.

Like jim said, had a guy tell me about the tap method a few years ago. A 5/16 tap will work on 5/16, or 11/32 points. Just clean them and tap them deep enough to get some threads in the tip. This gives the hot melt somethimg to melt into and hold. They never pull out anymore.

Gorilla glue, the instant type.  Home Depot has it.
Excellent for tips on wood. A bonus is if the tip breaks off, or you want to remove a tip, some heat pops off the tip.
Tradition is not the worship of ashes, but the preservation of fire.

Second on the Gorilla glue, heat does reverse it too! Haven't had a point come off yet!
