    Glue that works well on an Axis stock


    A friend of mine made what sounds like a great suggestion for stiffening an Axis forestock without adding a lot of weight. He suggested using carbon fiber or aluminum arrow shafts, but he didn't know what kind of glue would hold them in place. Suggestions?

    Lots of epoxy... your friend isn't the first to think of that. Try a search and you'll find some info on how others did it.

    You may also try Gorilla glue, it expands and would likely trap the arrows structurally. But, it isn't going to be as structurally supportive as epoxy. I've never heard of that before. I've also used stronger more structural two part urethane that is similar to gorilla glue for other DIY projects, but never in a stock. It expands so it is filled with bubbles, similar and they are both stronger than the expanding foam guys have filled the hollow stocks with.

    Just don't put your action in until it expands and you grind it back.

    I used the resin mixture from a fiberglass kit that they sell at walmart.

    Any compatibility issues with the resin?
