any reason why I can't use liquid cement? What do all you use?

I use goat tuff.


I'd think the chute of the mixing truck would be too big to get the cement into the shaft???? :noidea:

Fletching glue doesn't seem to be strong enough.

And as far as the cement truck chute, you run a long straw similar to what they inseminate horses with (its called a pipette) from the chute to the arrow shaft so you don't get a bunch of spillage.

I didn't realize Goat Tuff was designed for fletchings. I use Fletch Tite Platinum for fletching. Some use hot melt for tips. I guarantee you Goat Tuff works better then wax.

Some use epoxys also. Seems like extra work to me.

Maybe if you were pulling arrows out of foam instead of trees, glue would be good enough.....:biggrin1:

I don't know what Goat Tuff was designed for but a lot of people use it for fletching. I too use fletchtite platinum from Bohning after I found out thats what you use and I know how awesome you are so I got some myself. I use liquid cement for both the nocks and the inserts and I use Elmers pre-school glue sticks for my arrow wraps.

You ever heard of Ace Hardware they got all kinds of fittings to throttle that bad boy down...:noidea:

I use Goat Tuff for fletching and inserts/tips. It is good stuff, but not cheap. You can get some comparable stuff at hobby stores for much less cash. They sell the hobby glue at my shop now, but I still have goat tuff left to use up!

Who told you??? :noidea: :noidea:

I use goat tuff for my inserts and it works great. I put some inserts in my arrows and by the time I got out to the range which was about 45 minutes they were good to go. I did not loose one insert:rockon:

Who told you??? :noidea: :noidea:

heard it on tv.

Hook, whats this "hobby glue" you speak of? Is that anything like huffing paint thinner?

You guys need to all do yourself a favor and use Pine Ridge for everything...NO BS :rockon:

mmmmmmmm Paste

Try Bohning PowerBond. It's specifically made for inserts for both carbon or aluminum.

Works great for me anyhow.

I use super glue for inserts. Fletchtite or Saunders for fletching. I have some fantastic hotmelt for aluminum inserts. Hey HCAman you got any left???:lol:

Gold Tip tipgrip quick set glue works great for inserts.

Hey Justin go to a hobby shop and ask for CA+ Glue. They use it to build RC airplanes. Sam e glue but you can get a bug bottle for the same price as a little bottle of Goat Tuff.

well after reading all of this Hooks it is called CA+ glue. I got some goat tuff and fletched some arrows and the glue smelled like the same glue I used when I flow RC airplanes. It is CA+ glue. You can also get accelerator and slow dry CA-.

Here is a link to Tower Hobbies glue section. 4oz for the cost of a 1/4 oz of goat tuff

While we're on the subject of glue smells! Something about the smell of Testors model glue brings me back to being 10...and then 19 briefly. :lol:
Ben

just about any gel superglue would work good for fletching. i just did up my fatboys and used loctite superglue gel.

superglues i have used for fletching and would recommend:

bondini bond everything gel
maxi-cure red (hobby store)
zap gel (hobby store)
loctite pro superglue (liquid)
cyber 07
aae fastest set gel

if you're goin to a hobby store, just tell the guy what you're gonna be gluing, and he'll hook ya up. i just get the smaller quantity of stuff because i dont go thru it fast enuff before it goes bad.

for inserts, depends on the shaft.

for carbons:
bohning power-bond (a polyurethane glue with an accelerant)
24 hr, 2part epoxy
gorilla/rhino/elmer's ultimate (all pretty much the same thing, a poly-urethane glue)

glues i havent tried but will in the future, liquid nails and jb weld. jb weld would work great in a/c/c's. a friend used jb for his and never had a problem.

for aluminum, cant beat amber hotmelt. best stuff out there.

ive tried using superglues for inserts in carbons, and they just wouldnt hold. could have been from using thin walled carbons in aggressive bales. switched to gorilla glue, never had a problem. as with any glue, prep is the big thing. clean the insert and shaft of all dust.

I just told you what to ask for CA+ RC airplane glue.

I use the amber hot melt in mine. I shoot aluminums.

If I have any problems, I'll prolly just man up, drill a hole through them and use ARP head bolts and nuts. :D

just use thier rod bolts, that way you don't have to drill such a big hole:laugh:

i gave product names. there's been a few hobby shops ive been in that are about as sharp as marbles, this way he has a few product names to throw at em.



the only wonder i have about liquid nails is how it deals with shock like target impacts.

My wife keeps telling me that size DOES matter. :noidea:

zap is a good brand but also store brand is the same thing CA+ is CA+
I am going to order a 4 oz bottle from the link I posted Tower Hobbie.

You know what they say. A 20 pound sledge hammer is worthless if you do not know how to swing it. So a 10 pounder will do the same if used right.

any reason why I can't use liquid cement? What do all you use?

I will use what ever Slippy uses,if it can stick a mean v link to Slippy's signature, it will more than work for me.

Did you and Dan bury the hatchet?

what if you only have a 16 oz. ball peen hammer?.....:noidea: :Cry:

Love the medium set CA!

5 dollar hot melt stick, probably glued in 50 dozen inserts over the past couple years and still have half the stick, never lost a insert.
Who glues in nocks:dizzy:

OK I leavem as sometimes a small nock adjustment is needed to get a arrow tuned. If they are loose sometimes the baggie trick works good.

I use this glue from Alpine Ridge. It is just like goat tuff but about half the price. This stuff is awesome, I use it for everything and have never had any problems, unles I am trying to get an insert out..

You ever heard of Ace Hardware they got all kinds of fittings to throttle that bad boy down...:noidea:Yeah, but the problem with that is once you get it "throttled down" you're looking at 2,000 psi coming from the nozzle :D
