Epoxy for carbon fiber tube

[Alpo007]

What epoxy/adhesive would you use for glueing a carbon fiber tube to a stainless barrel? This will need to be a gap filling adhesive

This for FX? For my Crown I used JB Weld. Heated it with hair dryer to reduce viscosity making it easier to apply. Made a big difference in locking in POI. Highly recommend. ( I initially tried to used carbon fiber tube by taping it in place, much muich better to use epoxy)

Just a warning that heat makes some epoxies cure faster. Just so somebody doesn't have their resin "pop" half way thru the job.

You could try any of the available archery glue made for gluing inserts into carbon fiber shafts. Easy application..no mixing epoxy with catalyst. Fletch-Tite would probably work well. Sets in about 2-3 minutes cures in 12 hours and is removable with low heat.

I didn’t think of that and I’ve built arrows from bare shafts! Really good idea.

Different application but same idea..25mm CF tube to RTI end piece..
