OK I'm going to   :deadhorse:  but what kind of glue works good on inserts for Aluminum.

Some use hot melt.I normally use a good epoxy like JB Weld.Either one can be removed by heating.

I have used 5 minute epoxy with great success. But you have work quick,have everything ready and go for it.   :thumbsup:

Put mine in with Gorilla Super Glue.  Put a dab on the back end, then twist them in.  Could actually feel it drying up and holding tight as I kept twisting...  No problems yet

Hot melt.  The advantage is it's strong and can be removed as needed.
I find the older I get, the less I used to know!

Been using hot melt for 25yrs. and see no reason to change.

I've used the Bohning hot melt on aluminum for 41 years with no problems for my personal use. I've worked in a couple of pro shops over the years and the owners had us use 24 hour cure epoxy.

JB Weld works for me, but... What do I know?  :dunno:

Used hot melt for years on wood and aluminum but switched to 2-ton (2-part) epoxy about 10 years ago and find it holds much better, especially in cold weather.
