Re: Insert Glue

So the heat from the hot glue is safe for carbon arrows? When you have to make an adjustment on hot glue inserts you have to heat the shaft to melt the glue to loosen the insert, right?

Wrong ....you'll damage the shaft for sure. You heat the field tip, while it's in the insert for about 3 to 6 seconds, and then try to turn it and removed it. At no time should you heat the shaft directly.

If it won't come after the first try, heat it again for 3 or 4 seconds, and so on.

Same with putting them in...have the insert screwed on to a field tip, and hold it with a pair of pliers. Heat the insert that way until the glue melts on, and then insert it into the carbon and bed it.

It can be awkward using pliers. They do have a tool you that would make it easier.

Even aluminum arrows are sensative to overheating.
