loctite ultra control gel.  The black bottle only.  Best stuff I've ever used for fletching too.  $4/bottle and the gel stays right where I put it without running.

Standard goat tuff is good...with the rubber additive, much better!

JB Weld. Never need to worry about broad heads pulling out inside the target.

Insert glues are all basically the same.  They are super glue with an additive to keep from getting brittle.  There is a gorilla glue that has an additive that works the same way. 

The important thing is to prep the shaft properly.  Best adhesion is obtained by roughing up the inside of the shaft with a wire brush, and then cleaning the inside of the shaft with alcohol.  Put a line of glue on the insert, and then rotate the insert into place.  By rotating the insert you spread the glue evenly, and thinly.

 :yeah:
I do mine essentially the same (I just use plain super glue though) and I have yet to have a broadhead slip loose since I started doing it that way 5 years ago.
I was raised on the idea of using hot glue for inserts about 20 years ago and the reason being was that you could easily rotate your broad head for indexing or for really fine tuning the "squareness" in relation to the arrow shaft. Plus it was just really simple and fast to get your broadheads all finished in no time and you could reuse inserts if you needed to. Problem is, it is still not cemented in place and all it takes is one to slip off inside your target (this has happened several times to me over the years) then you have to cut up or destroy your target to fish out that one broadhead. Plus I just don't like the fact that the broad is not permanently glued to the shaft and that honestly could twist the broadhead off with your bare hands if your really wanted to.  Super glue type adhesions are the only way to go in my opinion.  :twocents:
