What brand/type of epoxy can one use for inserts in a carbon arrow that is available from hardware stores ?

Buy some loctite 380. It is way better than any epoxy. Epoxy tends to get brittle after afew month of shooting. Loctite 380 is the best insert adhesive I have ever used. It sets up in about 30 seconds.

I have tried just about every type of loc tite and other glues available.
24 HR slow cure flexible epoxy is the best I have found.The type I use is from the Golf club pro shops, it is called "shafting eopxy", and is used for carbon shaft to club heads.

I have not had an insert push up the arrow shaft since I switched .
