Has anyone ever tried contact cement for inserts on carbon arrows?

[M60gunner]

Probably the only one I haven't tried. Interested in this as well.

No I haven't, but this is the best I've ever used.
30-06 Insert Weld Glue

Big Jim's Quik Stick hot melt is the cats meow for inserts. Plus, you can easily get the insert out any time you need to. I have not tried contact cement, but don't think you would be able to slide the insert all the way in before it bonded together. For everything I have put together with contact cement, as soon as the two pieces touch each other, they are stuck for good!

2x on the 30-06 Insertweld. Basically a rubberized instant glue that absorbs shock. Better than epoxy in my experience.

Ferr-L-Tite low temp, blue stick.  Easy to use and  holds really well.  I never had an insert pull out and unlike super glues, it does not come loose after sharp impacts.

I am not a fan of the permanent glues as I hate to waste an arrow if I need to cut the arrow turn the insert or remove it due to damage.

Thanks  all

X3 on Big Jim's hot melt. I like it the best of anything I have used.

I use Big Jims on all of my carbons and aluminums.

If you coated both surfaces with contact cement, you would never get the insert in

Use Big Jim's stuff - It's da Bomb!

[rkelly]

Did  not  work

Like rraming said I use contact on a daily basis and it will NOT work.....use Big Jim's glue

What is the approx working time for Big Jims?  My weighted inserts are a bit over 3 inches long.  Concerned that glue may start to "set up" before I get them fully seated.

Heat the insert, then apply melted glue and insert.You will have plenty of time to seat and position insert for a true spin. Remember a good prep of surfaces helps adhesion.

I have not timed it, but you will have plenty of time to get your inserts seated! I also index all my broadheads so that they are all in the same plane when I draw my bow back. Super easy to do if Big Jims glue is what is holding the insert in. Just 2 seconds of heat, turn to desired position, and let dry again.
