Just curious what you Gold Tip users are using to hold your inserts in? I've had a number of them come out on me and looking for something hopefully a bit more permanent. Thanks in advance.

Glue for Gold Tip Inserts?

I use hot glue
A lot of people use Goat Tuff or Gorilla as well. Before you glue them in i would recommend cleaning the inside of the arrow with denatured alcohol (91%) or Acetone (98%). Nothing will oils in it. Also, i like to scuff up the inside of the arrow after cleaning with bore cleaner brush. Then, get out the glue gun, put a dab of melted glue in there put the insert in.
Good Luck,

J i have found a good two part epoxy to work the best. and when building B/H it allows you a few moments to spin the B/H to match your fletches. i have not had a single one come loose since i started that."If you are on a continuous search to be offended, you will always find what you are looking for; even when it isn't there."

i use this process with gorilla glue and it works great, i do not do the glue gun part but otherwise pretty much exact. i use a rifle bore brush to score up the inside of the arrow shaft

It's not so much the glue as the prep. A poorly prepared shaft won't hold a insert no matter what glue is used. Fltech tight, Duco, Goat tuff and 2 part epoxy will all work great if you do the prep work.
For some reason gold tips seem to be particularly finicky about being properly prepared.BHA Member
