Gorilla glue... | ||

Only thing is- acetone can attack the carbon and weaken it. So, stick with denatured alcohol. Use a rifle bore brush (270) for roughening up the inside of the shaft. Then clean it with Q-tip and denatured alcohol. After that dries, glue it in. I use locktite quicktite super glue gel (available at hardwares). They never will pull out with this method. | |||

I was wondering about that Ken. I Did say that I only had aluminum arrows myself. derf | |||

the arrows must be very clean when you glue the inserts into place make shure to use a strong alcohol solution with a q-tip. i am shooting carbons out of my custum hoyt hypertec set at 95# the arrows have 3 grain per inch inserts and 145 grain head for 620 grains toatle and im still getting 250fps adverage. i want to get a heavyer bow and use my 95# as my light set up if i do that i will back off my arrow weight to 520 grains in 95# and my speed will go up to about 275-280fps | |||

Now he has 5 arrows with missing target tips. It isn't the screwed in piece, it is the piece that slides into the carbon shaft. I think they're coming out inside the broadhead buck, which is real hard to pull the arrows out of. All of my arrows are okay, the carbon express must be a better quality. He'll have to buy some new tips first but is it okay to epoxy them in? Plinker | |||

I use denatured alcohol (95% ethanol/5% methanol) to clean my arrows I get it in the paint department at the hardware store I works a lot better than isopropyl alcohol. | |||

I am only useing Aluminum Penny and Acetone for cleaning. The guys at BO were saying that when fletching they usually have to sand the arrow where the vane will sit. derf | |||

Plinker: It's definitely because of the coating on the arrows. The carbon arrows have to have the coating removed before the glue will stick to them. Epoxy is fine. I use some sandpaper on a screwdriver; somebody makes a tool specifically for preparing carbon arrows; look in Cabela's catalog. | |||
