one, two, three times I glued this one so far, NOW FOUR
bjrogg:
That's interesting 1442. I made a really nice hunting point from some butterscotch flint river once. I had it knapped to weight sticking in grove in my spine and weight matched red osier shaft when it popped out fell to the cement floor and broke in two pieces. I glued it together with super glue and put it with my points and forgot about it. My granddaughter had a Native American week at school and I gave it to her with several other points but I tried to put some pressure on it and it held together. If I had read this post t it might possibly be halvted to a hunting shaft now. Thanks for sharing this info

If your superglue isn't bonding, blow on it. The moisture from your breath is often enough to start the catalytic action. Superglues need a little water to really activate properly.

I would feel confident in a glued point to shoot a deer but that would be a last resort. Like I shut the truck door on my quiver and had to do something quick.
JW I hope I never have to glue another one
I do blow on em to, but some just don't stick instantly. like there's too much glue mass around the joint to let the glue set fast within the joint.

agreeded 1442 that's why my granddaughter has that one and it's not in my quiver. After reading this post I gained more respect for super glue though

JW_Halverson:
Another way to get the superglue to set instantly is to put your finger on the excess squeeze out. The moisture in your skin will IMMEDIATELY cause the glue to set and bond you to the stone. However, I cannot guarantee that the glue will bond the two pieces of stone to each other. Sorry, you are on your own on that count.
