Need adhesive recommendation
I fashioned a V shaped arrow holder for my Savage v-spoon launcher our of a black pipe cleaner. I tried to "install" it with normal super glue, to no avail. I can't seem to get good enough contact between the metal launcher and the fibers on the pipe cleaner, no matter how hard I squeeze them together.
Do you think super glue gel would work any better? Any other thoughts on an adhesive that would be readily available at a Walmart or hardware store?

try JB weld, that stuff will hold about anything and it is thicker than super glue so you should be able to get it down in the fibers. wal mart should carry it, if not any auto parts store will have it.

RE: Need adhesive recommendation
Well what do you know...
I went home at lunch and scrounged through the wife's craft supplies. Found a fabric cement that is very gooey. I planned to use it, so I went to get my bow. I had left the pipe cleaner in place after I tried to secure it with the super glue gel.
It was cemented in place hard as a rock. Couldn't budge it. I had expected the super glue to be more instant, which is why I didn't think it would work. Looks like it just needed time to set up.
The pipe cleaner works really great. The teflon v-spoon would hold the arrow in place up to about 45-50* or so either way I canted the bow, but no way the arrow is falling off now. Looks really cool, too
