Default best glue for making nocks permanent?

I want to glue my nocks on permanently. For some reason I don't like them spinning around and able to pop right off and would rather glue them to the shafts. What would be the best glue ro my v-force carbon arrows?

Default Don't do it.

I think you'll be making a mistake if you glue your nocks in. If you need to turn your nock a bit to adjust for vane clearance, you can't. If you break a nock shooting groups (this WILL happen) or have one break or crack from stress (which has happened to me) you can't just pop in another. If you refletch your arrows, you'll have fits trying to align the vanes so they'll be in the proper position and you'll hate yourself for glueing them in. Don't do it.

I don't glue in nocks, but if I did I would use some hot glue, you can then put them in hot water and rotate them if you have to.
A quick and safe way to secure a nock is to use a plastic bag. Cover the hole of the arrow with about a 1/2 inch piece of plastic bag, press in the nock and use a lighter to burn off the excess plastic around the shaft. I do this on my G nocks to keep them secure.

I hate the nocks that come with carbons..I usually throw them in the garbage as soon as I open the package. I use glue-in nock inserts and glue on Bohning Classic nocks
