Default RE: A question for arrow builders.

Redline, thanks for the tips. You are talking about the hot melt like the Bohning Ferr-L-Lite correct? What brand do you use, and is it still safe to heat up a carbon arrow if you want the insert removed? What do you use to heat up the arrow, a small propare torch or something a bit less hot (i.e. lighter)?

Rick James, they supposedly clean out the shafts at the pro shop I got them cut at. But I don't think they really did a good job. I will definately run a few q-tips along the inside of the shafts when I remove the old inserts.

The ASD is a pretty neat tool. But like you said, I just square them regardless, they might have spun true without squaring them.

Any suggestions on getting the old inserts out?

Thanks for all your help, I really appreciate it.
