I also use AAE epoxy. For faster dry times I slip them down the boot dryer. Done in a couple hours. Just don't put the nocks down, melted. Never had one come off on the water. I also like this stuff becuase when a tip goes bad I hit it with the torch until I see flames come out. One fast pull and shaft is out and ready for a new tip. Safety note: put the tip in a vise. I put the shaft in the vise once and heated. Tip flew off due to gas pressure. Bounced around the room like a pinball. Didn't find it until next fall when I noticed a hole in a Rubbermaid tote. Melted right through and continued down into my favorite rain gear. Now my elbow gets wet!
