Quill Bolts GLUE Can't Get The Field Points In

[Stepnoutnb]

Two of the Quill bolts that came with my Micro 355 have glue in the holes. How do I remove the glue so I can put the field points in?

Not sure of the size but you could run a tap in to clear the threads

Thanks the glue is not in the threads just the non-threaded part of the INSERT.

Not really understanding the problem can you clarify or post a picture ?

Maybe try round Mini file to file down the glue sufficiently to seat your FP.
Might need some patience , dexterity and a flashlight.

Also, the right sized Dremel bit will speed up the repair.

Acetone, and a q-tip.

Nail polish remover is acetone I think?

Proper size drill bit, turned by hand. Possibly in a tap handle. Should cut glue easily without too much chance of mishap.

No. I've used nail polish remover, it works, it just takes longer.

100% the nail polish worked. Thanks Janesy and everyone!

look at the bright side.at least you got glue. most of my quills have spit the inserts. id run a tap or get them replaced. dont like to put any chemicals near carbon or glue.

Thanks I’ll keep that in mind. I only put the remover on the q tip and moistened the inside of the insert. There was no glue in the threads fortunately.

This is a great idea as well. I’ve used drill bits by hand to countersink shotgun primers inside a drilled out 32 cal brass to use in a blank gun. I soused to run pointers and use the shotgun primers for firing after the flush. Helps steady the dogs from breaking point after the flush. Never ran in a shoot to retrieve trials so the digs had to remain steady after the flush.
Getting way off topic cheers
