Default Super glue for carbons?

Can you use super glue for the inserts on carbon arrows?

I know there is some better products, like power bond for carbons, but I used it on my Easton epics with no trouble so far.I have heard the Locktite brand is the best but I just used some generic brand.I do make sure the whole insert gets covered.

There are indeed better adhesives out there
I've seen alot of broadheads left in the styrofoam targets in the last few years and personaly have lost several field points with inserts in the bales as well.

Since then I have became a firm believer in the 24 hr epoxy
be sure you rough up the inserts first then clean well and do not touch them when you handle them. Also use a wire brush the kind that one would use to clean a rifle barrel preffably stainless or metal, the brass dont last long. Put brush in drill and hit lightly and klean with Q-tip until clean.(might have to use several Q-tips per shaft)

Let dry and your in buissness.





Good Shooting

With my ICS hunter shafts;I have been using the last couple of years, I never realy even cleaned the inside of them with a cotton swab and denatured alcohol like they recomend.I suppose that it would be a good idea,but haven't had a single prob yet and shoot these alot.Just my 2 cents.

Thanks for the replies. I can pick the 24hr epoxy up at any hardware store correct?
