Default Insert Glue

What is a good glue to use for the inserts? Guy at Gander Mountain suggested "Gorilla Glue". I ended up getting some "Steel Force - Beyond Bond" glue. Seems to be holding up good.....so far.

I wouldn't use any type of polyurethane glue (i.e. Gorilla Glue, Powerbond By Elmer's etc.) The reason being that these glues will expand when the set up. Personally I recommend a 2-part epoxy, they are available at any hardware store for a inexpensive price.

Hot melt glues are okay, they are fast, but often times do not dry hard. Though this is just my experience.

Hot melt glue works well for aluminum, but not so much for carbon. 2 part epoxy is the best for carbon. Just make sure to put on a thin, even layer so as not to put too much weight on one side.

I am pretty sure, though notpositive, that Easton no longer makes the Quatro.
