What glue for inserts in carbon

Hot melt should do it, super glue as well. I like hotmelt as it is easy to remove if need be.

For ease of use go with hot melt and a PROPERLY prepared shaft. For strength and durability JB Weld is the only way to go.  The key is proper prep of the shaft. I like to use a brass bore brush of the right size for the shaft chucked in a drill on LOW speed. A smooth and quick in and out is all you need. Follow with acetone on a q-tip until it comes out clean. Use the acetone on a rag for the inserts and you are ready to glue them in. Spin test them and allow to cure because you are not getting them back out if done properly. Oh and I like to push a little bow wax into the insert where weights screw in before I clean them with acetone. This prevents any epoxy getting into the threads and making difficulties in life.

Good idea on the wax in the threads. I've gotten glue in them before and without an 8-32 tap ya it's not fun trying to get it out. Run a tap in there and your good to go though. I did the bore brush trick on a couple tonight and used denatured alcohol to clean them. Seems to be holding. I had one shot that nothing would stick to. I'll see about it tomorrow. To late now. Thanks everybody

I use regular hot melt for tuning and JB Weld when I want them permanent. I had one pull out with the JB Weld but it was obvious I hadn't used enough.

Big Jim's for me too.

Insert Iron is reversible with heat. But heat the insert only when using carbon shafts.  You can screw a field point in and apply the heat to that. I have done this many times and it works every time.
