Title: Help quick bond glue works too fast
Post by: biggfish on January 06, 2015, 04:40:19 PM: Trying to build arrows today I messed one up cutting and this other on the glue set while I was pushing in the insert. Is there anything I can do?(https://hunting-washington.com/smf/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Ftapatalk.imageshack.com%2Fv2%2F15%2F01%2F06%2F4da09df30380a7d5e6a2d1196267ff08.jpg&hash=20496f80af81894951b0dfd5c25f0fd1c9e11caa)

Or you could google it and come up with acetone, sok the tip in acetone or fingernail polish remover w/acetone overnite then try to pull/twist it out.

Put it in a small glass, deep enough to reach the arrow shaft/cover insert when the point is down. Cover the glass with plastic wrap so the acetone doesn't evaporate. Poke the arrow through the plastic wrap into the acetone. Not sure how long it will take, keep trying until you can gently grab the field point with pliers and wiggle the point out.

The hidden inserts are the worst because you can't see how far they went in; you just rely on the tool to push them in. I'd guess I have a 1:30 failure rate. Generally, the drill bit swinging is a possible solution, but I rarely can get it to work and end up calling it a kids arrow.

Make sure not to swing around a window or breakable items. It comes out alittle hot
