Kimsha Quick-Stick Point Glue Review

It can be but I prefer epoxy.

We use an alcohol burner to soften and melt the block then smear the taper in the hot glue. It sets pretty quick.

I generrally use a small tea candle to heat the stick untill soft enough to spread on the tapered arrow shaft. Ive also used a wood stove and campfire, any heat source works. On e the glue is on the shaft slide your point on and press the tip firmly on a block of wood, table, work bench ect until the glue sets. Approx 90 sec. You can reheat the point and press again if it set up before it seated all the way or the point slid in a way you diddnt like ect. Trim any glue that squeezed out with a knife. Also if a shaft breaks you can heat the point to soften the glue and reclaim the point.

You have about 5-10 seconds before it starts to set up.

I generally screw a field point into the insert to hold it with pliers, then heat the insert with an alcohol burner or propane torch just enough to get it fairly hot and rub it on the glue chunk until it coats the insert surfaces then push the insert in the shaft. I have seen others heat the glue and that works also. Hope this helps. John

I just set a propane torch on my work surface, light it, and heat an edge of the glue, then smear the heated edge on the tapered end of the arrow where the arrow head goes, put the arrowhead on, and that's it. Heat a little more for the next arrow, and so on.

Yes, the Quick Stick Hot Melt can be used for gluing in inserts. Epoxy would be a stronger hold, but you would be able to remove inserts much easier using the Quick Stick Hot Melt.

Yes, Kimshaw glue with work, but it is not recommended for carbon arrows. A epoxy would have a stronger hold. For carbon arrow tuning I would use Bohning Cool Flex. http://www.3riversarchery.com/product.asp?i=4191-01

It weighs out at approximately 900 grains I do not know the exact dimensions of it though.

I have not tested it, but I see no reason as to why you could not use it with the glue pot. It is similar to the Hot melt that we recommend. I can not guarantee it though, but it should work.

The Kimsha Quick Stick glue melts when using just about any consistent heat source. I use a propane torch on a low heat to soften the glue enough to wipe on a taper and then heat the back of the arrow point before putting on the taper to smooth out the Kimsha Quick Stick glue. You can use a lighter in a pinch though.
